[Propofol--new highly effective intravenous anesthetic]
Abstract
A review is presented of revelant medical literature concerning potentialities of a new intravenous anaesthetic propofol that has come into widespread use as a means of inducing and maintaining anaesthesia, short-term and long-term sedation. Propofol allows an extremely prompt induction of anaesthesia and postanaesthetic recovery to be achieved, with the depth of anaesthesia easily controlled.
