Propofol appears to be safe for use in porphyria, and has not been known to trigger malignant hyperpyrexia. [citation needed] Propofol is also reported to induce priapism in some individuals, [66] [67] and has been observed to suppress REM sleep and to worsen the poor sleep quality in some patients. [68] Rare side effects include: [69] anxiety
Propofol has both sedative and amnestic effects, but provides no analgesia. Adverse effects to look out for include hypotension (low blood pressure) and respiratory depression, manifested as mild drops in oxygen saturation levels. Propofol is also painful when administered intravenously, therefore, lidocaine is commonly used as a pretreatment ...
Adverse effects include dry mouth and blurry vision. Care must be taken when handling the patch, as transfer of medication to the eye can induce pupillary dilation. Avoid use in elderly patients. Medications include scopolamine. Glucocorticoids have direct antiemetic effects and can reduce need for postoperative opioids. Adverse effects include ...
Opioid is a commonly administered adjuvant agent as the analgesic component of TIVA. However, when used with propofol, it might exacerbate the adverse hypotensive effects. [48] Other potential adverse effects include respiratory depression, bradycardia, delirium and potential for acute tolerance. [50]
Induced coma usually results in significant systemic adverse effects. The patient is likely to completely lose respiratory drive and require mechanical ventilation; gut motility is reduced; hypotension can complicate efforts to maintain cerebral perfusion pressure and often requires the use of vasopressor drugs. Hypokalemia often results.
A new survey found that 1 in 5 adults “who say they have no personal or family history of heart attack or stroke,” reported “routinely” taking a low-dose aspirin
Social Security’s annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) helps keep retirees afloat as inflation erodes purchasing power. But this year, it’s sparking some anxiety.
A few studies have been geared towards studying the effects of post operative analgesic regimes which measure the quality of recovery period and health-related quality of life. Factors other than degree of analgesia and presence of analgesic agent-related side effects (e.g., fatigue, physical functioning, and mental health) may potentially ...
