ABSTRACT
The pharmacokinetic profile of propofol has demonstrated that it is a useful drug to achieve an appropriate hypnosis according to the required procedure. The most common practice is administration by initial and subsequent boluses. However, continuous infusion is an good option, controlling a stable plasmatic level in order to keep a therapeutic range and optimizing the effect. This makes it possible to give a dose according to the time and procedure required, as well as achieving a rapid and smooth recovery while trying to minimize the undesirable effects associated to intravenous anesthetic drugs. Nevertheless, propofol requires adjuvant drugs (benzodiazepines, local anesthetics, opioids, neuromuscular relaxant agents, alpha-2 agonists and others) and, based on interactions between these, it offers a range of useful techniques in the anesthesiologist’s daily practice, suitable for the needs of each anesthetic event. Propofol is used as induction and base drug for anesthetic maintenance, intraoperative sedation, monitorized anesthetic care (MAC), sedation in the intensive care unit, procedures outside the operation room and ambulatory surgery.
