Why the study?
What are the pharmacokinetic parameters of propofol when administered by continuous intravenous infusion?
What are the pharmacokinetic parameters of propofol when administered by continuous intravenous infusion?
Despite a long elimination half-life, propofol blood concentrations approach steady state rapidly due to a short distribution half-life, though lower systemic clearance should be considered to avoid accumulation.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Lower clearance warrants caution in prolonged infusions; extends bolus PK data to continuous use but requires prospective validation.
