Recovery from propofol-induced anesthesia is generally rapid and associated with less frequent side effects [9] [10] (e.g. drowsiness, nausea, vomiting) compared to other anesthetic agents. Propofol may be used prior to diagnostic procedures requiring anesthesia, in the management of refractory status epilepticus , and for induction and/or ...
Propofol is usually the selected sedative-hypnotic agent to maintain general anesthesia through TIVA because of its rapid onset and offset, beneficial properties and few adverse effects. [33] Its rapid onset of action is due to its high lipid-solubility , rapid redistribution from the brain to other parts of the body, and rapid clearance (20 to ...
Propofol [6] is a non-barbiturate derivative that is thought to act by stimulating inhibitory GABA receptors and blocking excitatory NMDA receptors. It takes 40 seconds for the effects of propofol to kick in, and effects last six minutes. [3] Propofol has both sedative and amnestic effects, but provides no analgesia.
