What do we know about propofol ?
Propofol is the chemically active component of an intravenous anesthetic formulation used for induction and maintenance of general anesthesia.
It is a sedative drug used to put someone to sleep during general anesthesia for surgery or other medical procedures.
This sedative has very severe side effects, including low blood pressure, cerebrovascular effects, respiratory problems, decreased cerebral blood flow, delirium or hallucinations, propofol infusion syndrome and eventually death.
