This is a prospective chart review of endoscopy patients. The study aims to identify if there are patient characteristics that are related to the amount of pain experienced when propofol is injected through a PIV. Here is a link to the article. Questions for Discussion: 1.) In your clinical experience what have you found helps reduce pain when injecting propofol? 2.) The article mentions some patient populations experience more pain when propofol is injected. Do you have any thoughts on why these patients might experience more pain and what additional populations should be investigated for future studies?

1. doing a true Bier block with lido and tourniquet is one option that has worked, but needs a few minutes to soak, however nothing seems consistent 2. pediatric patients do experience discomfort, smaller IV catheter size, smaller veins, but again 90 % dont remember
