Note: If rapid effect is desired, may initiate with a higher infusion rate (eg, 100 to 150 mcg/kg/minute for 3 to 5 minutes) or administer an initial bolus (eg, 0.25 to 0.5 mg/kg) (Rosero 2020; manufacturer's labeling). • It is used to cause sleep during a procedure. Induction of general anesthesia: Children and Adolescents (healthy) 3 to 16 years, ASA-PS 1 or 2: IV: 2.5 to 3.5 mg/kg over 20 to 30 seconds; use a lower dose for ASA-PS 3 or 4. IV: 1.5 to 2 mg/kg once; usual dose range: 1 to 3 mg/kg. If used in a nonintubated and/or nonmechanically ventilated patient, qualified personnel and appropriate equipment for rapid institution of respiratory and/or cardiovascular support must be immediately available. If combined, dose reduction or discontinuation of one or more CNS depressants (including the oxybate salt product) should be considered. Note: Continuous infusion may be started if longer sedation is required (see "Mechanically Ventilated Patients in the ICU, Sedation") (Caro 2020; Roberts 2019; Stollings 2014). A holiday from propofol infusion should take place after 5 days of therapy to allow for evaluation and necessary replacement of zinc. • Hypotension: The major cardiovascular effect of propofol is hypotension especially if patient is hypovolemic or if bolus dosing is used. 40 seconds. Note: Use caution when administering high doses (>4 mg/kg/hour [>65 mcg/kg/minute]) for extended periods of time (>48 hours); monitor closely for adverse effects (eg, PRIS) (NCS [Brophy 2012]). Available for Android and iOS devices. Healthy adults, ASA-PS 1 or 2: IV: Usual total dose: 1 to 2.5 mg/kg. Propofol induction dose requirements may be reduced. Diprivan injection should be prepared for single patient use only, just prior to the initiation of each procedure. Soybean fat emulsion is used as a vehicle for propofol. Hypersensitivity to propofol or any component of the formulation; hypersensitivity to eggs, egg products, soybeans, or soy products; when general anesthesia or sedation is contraindicated. Management: Consider reduced doses of other CNS depressants, and avoiding such drugs in patients at high risk of buprenorphine overuse/self-injection. Strong CNS depressants should not be coadministered with blonanserin. Dosage must be individualized based on total body weight and titrated to the desired clinical effect; wait at least 3 to 5 minutes between dosage adjustments to clinically assess drug effects; smaller doses are required when used with opioids; the following are general dosing guidelines (see "Abbreviations, Acronyms, and Symbols" section in front section for explanation of ASA-PS classes). See manufacturer's labeling. Use of propofol in a patient who has been taking rifampin may result in clinically significant hypotension. Metabolism Monitored anesthesia care: Note: For dosing in obese patients, use adjusted body weight for initial weight-based dosing (Schumann 2020). Propofol possesses sedative, anxiolytic, and anticonvulsant properties 46). Propofol, or 2,6-diisopropylphenol (C 12H 18O, MW = 178.271) is a simple molecule and its chemical structure is shown below. Based on the Neurocritical Care Society guidelines for the evaluation and management of status epilepticus, propofol can be used for the treatment of refractory status epilepticus in adults [NSG [Brophy 2012]]. Mechanically ventilated patients in the ICU, sedation: Note: Used as part of a multimodal strategy (eg, combination of sedatives and analgesics) for ICU sedation and preferred over a benzodiazepine due to less risk of prolonged sedation and improved time to extubation; titrate to maintain a light level of sedation (eg, Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale 0 to −2) or clinical effect (eg, ventilator synchrony) (SCCM [Devlin 2018]). If agitated after discontinuation of continuous infusion, then restart at ~50% of the previous maintenance dose (Jakob 2012; Kress 2000; Roberts 2009; SCCM [Barr 2013]; SCCM [Devlin 2018]). Monitor therapy, Amifostine: Blood Pressure Lowering Agents may enhance the hypotensive effect of Amifostine. Titrate doses to cessation of electrographic seizures or burst suppression (Legriel 2017; NCS [Brophy 2012]; Rai 2018). • Analgesic supplementation: Propofol lacks analgesic properties; pain management requires specific use of analgesic agents, at effective dosages, propofol must be titrated separately from the analgesic agent.

Only the healthcare provider has the knowledge and training to decide which medicines are right for a specific patient. If, however, higher than necessary infusion levels have been maintained for a long time, propofol redistribution from fat and muscle to the plasma can be significant and slow recovery. • Anaphylaxis/hypersensitivity reactions: May rarely cause hypersensitivity, anaphylaxis, anaphylactoid reactions, angioedema, bronchospasm, and erythema; medications for the treatment of hypersensitivity reactions should be available for immediate use. Because Fresenius Propoven 2% contains double the concentration of propofol (20 mg/mL) compared to the FDA-approved propofol products (10 mg/mL), there is a risk of unintentional overdose. Mechanism of Action. Duration of action: An induction dose of propofol will have a clinical effect for approximately 10 minutes. Management: Patients on lomitapide 5 mg/day may continue that dose. IV: Loading dose: 1 to 2 mg/kg, followed by 0.5 to 2 mg/kg every 3 to 5 minutes until seizures are suppressed; maximum total dose: 10 mg/kg (Legriel 2017; NCS [Brophy 2012]; Rai 2018). Tubing and any unused portions of propofol vials should be discarded after 12 hours. Intravenous anesthetics are a group of fast-acting compounds that are used to induce a state of impaired awareness or complete sedation. • Myoclonus: Perioperative myoclonus (eg, convulsions and opisthotonos) has occurred with administration. Like the newer propofol derivatives, however, its safety in continuous infusion remains to be evaluated. Call your doctor or get medical help if any of these side effects or any other side effects bother you or do not go away: WARNING/CAUTION: Even though it may be rare, some people may have very bad and sometimes deadly side effects when taking a drug.

Consider therapy modification, ROPINIRole: CNS Depressants may enhance the sedative effect of ROPINIRole. Management: Avoid concomitant use of opioid agonists and benzodiazepines or other CNS depressants when possible. Propofol has been proposed to have several mechanisms of action, both through potentiation of GABAA receptor activity and therefore acting as a GABAA receptor positive allosteric modulator, thereby slowing the channel-closing time, and at high doses, propofol may be able to activate GABAA receptors in the absence of GABA, behaving as a GABAA receptor agonist as well. An in vivo test in the rats was performed to measure the 50% effective dose (ED50) of the 4 propofol prodrugs. • ECG effects: In most cases, propofol does not significantly affect the QT interval (Staikou 2014). Health care providers should review the Fact Sheet for Health Care Providers for key differences between products: https://www.fda.gov/media/137889/download. However, in cases where general anesthesia is needed for cesarean delivery, propofol has been used as an induction agent (ACOG 209 2019; Devroe 2015). Maximum dose (not well defined and may vary by institution): 200 mcg/kg/minute. Monitor therapy, Thalidomide: CNS Depressants may enhance the CNS depressant effect of Thalidomide. IV. Monitor patient closely for evidence of CNS depression. desired time of emergence. Patients who develop hypertriglyceridemia (eg, ≥400 mg/dL) are at risk of developing pancreatitis. Propofol decreases the rate of dissociation of the GABA from the receptor, thereby increasing the duration of the GABA-activated opening of the chloride channel with resulting hyperpolarization of cell membranes. Consider therapy modification, DULoxetine: Blood Pressure Lowering Agents may enhance the hypotensive effect of DULoxetine. • American Society of Anesthesiologists - Physical Status (ASA-PS) 3 or 4 patients: Use a lower induction dose, a slower maintenance rate of administration, and avoid rapidly delivered boluses in ASA-PS 3 or 4 patients to reduce the incidence of unwanted cardiorespiratory depressive events.
