The effect of propofol when injected at different speeds for induction of general anesthesia: an observational study

Abstract: INTRODUCTIONMany physiological changes occur during the administration an anesthetic agent intravenously. Amongst them, most important changes occur in the hemodynamics of the patients mainly blood pressure and heart rate. Although propofol is preferred over thiopentone sodium for induction of anesthesia but one of the disadvantages of propofol is significant hypotension.A typical induction dose of propofol 2 mg/kg results in approximately 30% reduction in systolic blood pressure. The hypotensive effect of pro… Show more

“…Propofol, which was used for induction of anaesthesia in combination with midazolam, can reduce SVR and blood pressure because of a decrease in sympathetic activity, direct vasodilatation and myocardial depression 15 21–23. Nevertheless, the vasodilation seems to be dependent on the dose administered and the rate of its administration 24 25. It is also known that the coadministration of a sedative drug, like a benzodiazepine, during induction, decreases the dose of propofol required, and therefore the related cardiopulmonary depression 26 27…”

“… 9 Conversely, TCI ensures a gradual and consistent attainment of the therapeutic target. Despite a multitude of studies 3 , 9 , 10 , 11 comparing different propofol administration techniques, the existing evidence is characterized either by its low quality or by conflicting results.…”
