Lidocaine and Propofol pain..The Superior Method




It is well Known that lidociane alleviate propofol injection pain.But  many questions still un answered, What is the adequate dose? The proper timing ?

A review of the published studies suggested that injecting lidocaine with a proximal tourniquet provided the highest efficacy.

The authors recommended that “IV lidocaine (0.5 mg/kg) should be given with a rubber tourniquet on the forearm, 30 to 120 seconds before the injection of propofol.”

 This method was superior to mixing lidocaine with propofol, which itself was superior to giving lidocaine without a tourniquet prior to injecting the propofol.

Driving Pressure in ARDS: A new concept!

Driving Pressure and Survival in the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Marcelo B.P. Amato, M.D., Maureen O. Meade, M.D., Arthur S. Slutsky, M.D., Laurent Brochard, M.D., Eduardo L.V. Costa, M.D., David A. Schoenfeld, Ph.D., Thomas E. Stewart, M.D., Matthias Briel, M.D., Daniel Talmor, M.D., M.P.H., Alain Mercat, M.D., Jean-Christophe M. Richard, M.D., Carlos R.R. Carvalho, M.D., and Roy G. Brower, M.D. N Engl J Med 2015; 372:747-755 February 19, 2015 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMsa1410639 BACKGROUND Mechanical-ventilation strategies that use lower end-inspiratory (plateau) airway pressures, lower tidal volumes (V T ), and higher positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEPs) can improve survival in patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but the relative importance of each of these components is uncertain. Because respiratory-system compliance (C RS ) is strongly related to the volume of aerated remaining functional lung during disease (termed functional lung size)...
