Abstract	In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is one of the world’s fastest growing operations in the world and is a groundbreaking reproductive technology discovery that has changed the lives of countless families around the planet. However, such a paramount discovery would not be possible without advancements in anesthetics, particularly the local anesthetic Xylocaine(lidocaine), and the intravenous (IV) anesthetic Propofol. Xylocaine is used to provide a loss of sensation in a discrete region of the body by disrupting nerve impulse generation or propagation. Depending on the patient’s body mass, 1-2 milligrams per kilogram is administered. Propofol, on the other hand, is used to induce and maintain a controlled state of unconsciousness and analgesia (pain relief), when a dosage of 2 milligrams per kilogram is administered. The purpose of this investigation was to unveil the true extent to which Xylocaine affects the perception of pain on the IV line in patients during the administration of Propofol by measuring each patient’s pain score on a scale from 0 to 10. Two groups were compiled for this endeavor: one being the control group, which did not receive Xylocaine and was represented by the digit 0, and the other being the counterpart group, which was administered the anesthetic and represented by the digit 1. Initial averaging of the complete data set of pain scores concluded that Xylocaine did, in fact, help reduce pain on the IV line in patients prior to Propofol infusion. Further statistical analysis with IBM SPSS v.25, including a T-test and an independent samples test, was conducted and further validated the significance of the use of Xylocaine in pain reduction on the IV line during Propofol infusion. Overall, this study confirms the effectiveness of combining these two anesthetics on IVF patients on reducing side effects, improving patient’s satisfaction, and providing legitimacy to an ever-growing IVF industry.
