Abstract
Propofol is a nonopioid, nonbarbiturate sedative hypnotic used extensively as an induction agent for general anesthesia and as a sedative in intensive care units (ICUs). The prompt recovery without residual sedation and low incidence of nausea and vomiting make propofol an appropriate choice for use in ambulatory surgery procedures.
