Warnings, Precautions, and Contraindications:
When using propofol, patients should be continuously monitored, and facilities for the maintenance of a patent airway, artifi cial ventilation and oxygen supplementation must be immediately available. Propofol contains no antimicrobial preservatives. Strict aseptic techniques must always be maintained during handling since the vehicle is capable of supporting the rapid growth of microorganisms. Propofol injection is contraindicated in dogs with a known hypersensitivity to propofol or its components, or when general anesthesia or sedation are contraindicated.
Side Effects:
The primary side effect of propofol is respiratory depression as evidenced by tachypnea and apnea.
