Ondansetron as a Strategy for Reducing Propofol Injection Pain in Pediatrics: a Randomized Controlled Trial
Stopped early · Phase 2
Conditions studied: Injection Site Irritation
In brief
This study is a randomized, single-site clinical trial that will take place at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston. The investigators want to see if in pediatric patients, giving Zofran prior to propofol, reduces the pain that patients often experience when propofol is injected through an IV. Subjects will be randomized to 1 of 2 groups: lidocaine (common standard of care), or Zofran. The investigators hope to show a means of improving pain control in their patients undergoing anesthesia.
