Abstract: Propofol is one of the anesthetics that supply quick action initiation, fast recovery and simple titration with minimal side effects. Patient satisfaction with propofol is diminished due to its side effect of causing discomfort when being injected. Study objective is to compare Lignocaine and Palonosetron to alleviate pain caused by propofol injection during anaesthesia intravenous induction. The present prospective randomized study was conducted during the period from December, 2013 to July, 2015 at the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Hospital and Research Center, Karad. Palonosetron pre-treatment is as effective as lignocaine in reducing the pain caused by propofol injection with the added benefit of reducing PONV incidence.
