This document provides information about the drug Propofol, including its generic and brand names, its indication as a sedative-hypnotic used for anesthesia induction and maintenance or sedation, how it works to induce anesthesia as part of a balanced technique and provide conscious sedation, and its contraindications such as epilepsy or allergies to eggs. Potential adverse effects are listed as dizziness, headache, hypotension, vomiting, and abdominal cramping. Nursing considerations for its use include intubation and ventilation of the patient, monitoring of vital signs, decreasing the dose or stopping if hypotension or bradycardia occurs, notifying the doctor, and documenting a neuro assessment on awakening.
