ABSTRACT
Aim and Objective: This study was undertaken in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with aim to compare pain during injection among etomidate and propofol during induction. Materials and Methods: One hundrade ASA I and II patients of age between 18-60 years scheduled for elective laproscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into two equal group(n=50 in each). All the patients were premedicated with inj fentanyl 2 μg /kg, & inj glycopyrrolate 0.2 mg. Group P (n=50) received propofol 2 mg/kg, Group E (n=50) received etomidate 0.3 mg/kg IV as inducing agent. Pain on injection was measured using 4 point graded scales. Results: Result shows demographic profile and anthropometric profile of both the groups were comparable. Propofol shows Grade-1 pain 20%, Grade-2 pain 10%, Grade-3 pain -4%.That is total 34% pain with propofol where as etomidate shows only 2%. Conclusion: Injection propofol causes more pain on injection as inducing agent, than injection etomidate in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Keywords: etomidate, propofol, pain, laparoscopic, cholecystectomy.
