Propofol is a milky-white drug that sedates patients beautifully. I like propofol! Its short half-life makes neuro assessments easy; it controls hypertension and its soy base even provides some nutrition.
But since Michael Jackson's death, I just gotta add this:
1. Propofol is used ONLY IN A HOSPITAL'S ICU
2. Propofol is used ONLY ON VENTILATED PATIENTS
3. The only other exception is when it is used during conscious sedation BY A PHYSICIAN WITH DEEP SEDATION PRIVILEGES
Trust me--I'm right about this.
