Background. The mechanism for pain associated with intravenous administration of propofol
is believed to be related to the release of nitric oxide. We hypothesized that pain following …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical gas in the biological system, which is produced by nitric
oxide synthase (NOS) family. NO acts as a biological mediator and plays important roles in …

Propofol anesthesia is usually accompanied by hypotension. Studies have shown that the
hypotensive effects of propofol increase in patients treated with angiotensin-converting …

Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and propofol both exert hypotensive action and
may affect hemostasis. We investigated the influence of quinapril and propofol on …

Purpose Propofol injection can cause distressing pain, and no method can inhibit it
completely. Neither lidocaine nor magnesium sulfate (MgSO 4) was sufficient to prevent pain …
