Propofol MOA
Effect on spinal
selective GABA selective modulator
Spinal motor neuron excitability not altered
Propofol unique metabolism mechanism
Clearance exceeds hepatic blood flow:
- Tissue uptake in lungs
- extensive hepatic metabolism CYP450
Propofol metabolite
4-hydroxypropofol
Propofol context sensitive t1/2
<40min
How is propofol affected by hepatic or renal dysfunction?
Not influenced.
for propofol, Decreased rate of plasma clearance in pt over what age?
60.

Erythrocytes and plasma proteins (50%)
plasma albumin (48%)
Free (2%)
In what population do you see increased free fraction?
- Severe heaptic and renal disease
- pregnant woman
Is propofol an acid or base?
Acid
How is myoclonous induced in propofol?
2ndary to disinhibition of subcortical centers
How does propofol cause moderate BP decrease?
- Primary decrease in sympathetic tone and vasodilation (primary)
- CNS, cardiac and baroreceptor depression
How does propofol affect respiratory depression?
Dose dependent with infusions secondary to decreased sensitivity of respiratory center to CO2
Propofol broncho effect?
minimal bronchodilation
Propofol induction dose?
1.5-2.5mg/kg
- Decrease dose in elderly
- Increase dose in pediatrics
- Effects exaggerated with CV disease
