According to my didactic instructors, you shouldn't mix Lido and Propofol because of the potential to form micro lipid emboli. Technically you can just give a little IV lido before the Prop to stop burning, but everyone mixes it to save time.
And if you go to court, how are they necessarily gonna know that you mixed the meds? Sometimes in the anesthesia record I put meds on the same line, like Decadron/Zofran, but that doesn't necessarily mean I mixed the two, I just put them together to save space because there is never enough room to write!!
Wow, such a hotbed of controversy......
