Summary

Despite numerous strategies for preventing or alleviating pain associated with propofol and rocuronium injections, it remains common and distressing for patients. Vibration is an effective method of reducing pain during facial cosmetic injections and some venipuncture procedures. But it has not been previously studied in the context of propofol or rocuronium injection pain. This randomized study aims to evaluate the effect of vibration anesthesia on the incidence and severity of propofol and rocuronium injection pain.

Detailed description

Due to their rapid onset and short duration of action, ease of titration, recovery, and favorable profile for side effects, propofol and rocuronium are agents frequently used together in anesthesia practice and for rapid-sequence intubation. However, both cause severe discomfort due to pain in the injection arm. Some patients recall the induction of anesthesia as the most painful part of the perioperative period. Vibration anesthesia has repeatedly been shown to alleviate pain sensation effectively and safely. Vibration anesthesia device is designed to reduce the pain from minor procedures, such as injection of medications, suture or staple removal, phlebotomy and even venipuncture pain in pediatric patients. The advantages of this device include its low cost, lack of adverse effects, and ease of use. It has been shown to reduce pain with a mechanism based on the gate control theory, which states that vibrations stimulate the dorsal horn neurons, the sites at which pain signals are modulated and thus block full transmission of the pain.The investigators therefore proposed this randomized controlled study to compare the effectiveness of a vibration device for propofol and rocuronium injection pain during general anesthesia induction.
