Effect of intravenous Lidocaine bolus on the median effective concentration (EC50) of Propofol during target controlled infusion (TCI : Schnider model) for gastroscopy in adult patients : a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study

This study looks at how a common painkiller called lidocaine, given through a drip, might help reduce the amount of a sleep-inducing medicine (propofol) needed for a gastroscopy. It aims to make the procedure smoother and more comfortable for adult patients.
