Routinely, intravenous preservative free lignocaine is used for prevention of pain due to injection of propofol.

Group A 5ml of 0.9% NS Group Breceived Inj lignocaine 50 mg and group B received Inj ondansetron 4mg as retreatment, before injection of propofol. Comp� pain during propofol injection Ondansetron 4mg pre–treatment reduces the incidence and less incidence of PONV.
