    Propofol Guide

    Uploaded by

    Laksmi Amelia
    Propofol dosing guidelines for induction include an initial bolus of 1.5-2.5 mg/kg given in 2-3 divided doses, which will cause apnea within 30-90 seconds. Maintenance infusion rates are approximately equal to isoflurane percentages and should be titrated over time. Total intravenous anesthesia using propofol and ketamine requires reduced doses for elderly or sick patients, with propofol titrated based on blood pressure, heart rate, and level of consciousness while avoiding complete paralysis if possible.

    Propofol Dosing Guidelines

    I. Induction:
    A. Initial Bolus: 1.5-2.5 mg/kg.
    B. Give in 2-3 divided doses.
    C. Patient will be apneic within 30-90 seconds.

    II. Maintenance:
    For adults, the infusion rate, in cc/min, is approximately equal to the % isoflurane you
    would use for the comparable technique at the same time point.

    III. Total Intravenous Anesthesia (propofol/ketamine):


    Pasien 60 kg 15-30 minutes prior to the
    Fentanyl: end of surgery.
    200-400 µg 2-3 min prior to induction Propofol:
    *1cc = 50 ug Initial Bolus: 0.8-1.2 mg/kg
    *1-2 ug/kgbb (1-2 minutes after fentanyl)
    1,5 ug x 60 kg = 90 ug  1,8 cc *10mg = 1 cc
    Ketamine/Noveron: 1 mg x 60 kg = 60 mg  6cc
    *10mg/cc Infusion:
    *0,6-1 mg/kgbb Start at 140-200 µg/kg/min
    0,8 mg x 60 kg = 48 mg  4,8 cc At 10 minutes: 100-140 µg/kg/min
    No initial bolus After 2 hours: 80-120 µg/kg/min
    Infusion:
    Start at 1 mg/min Turn off propofol infusion
    At 1 hour: .6 mg/min about 5-10 minutes prior to the
    At 4 hours: .4 mg/min desired time of emergence. Give 1-2 cc
    boluses as needed to keep patient asleep until
    Turn off ketamine infusion the desired time of emergence.
    Propofol Dosing Caveats
    I. Induction:
    A. Even small boluses (1-2 cc) may cause apnea, especially following a premed.
    B. Reduce propofol doses by 40-60% for elderly patients, sick patients, or following a heavy
    premed.

    II. Maintenance:
    A. Check repeatedly that the infusion is running. Continuous infusions are prone to equipment
    problems, such as the clamps left on the line, running out of drug, excessive backpressure
    in the line, etc. If the infusion stops for more than a few minutes, your patient will awaken
    during the operation.
    B. Propofol is not amnestic, so patients must be kept completely unconsciousness with
    propofol to prevent intraoperative awareness.
    C. Infuse the propofol through a t-piece connected immediately proximal to the IV catheter to
    minimize dead space.
    D. If the infusion rate is not turned down over time the patient will be overdosed.
    E. The infusion can be titrated to blood pressure and heart rate.
    F. If your patient is too deep, turn off the propofol for a minute or two. (Remember to turn it
    back on, or your patient will wake up!) If your patient is too light, give a 1-4 cc bolus of
    propofol, and increase the infusion rate.
    G. The infusion rates are intended for adults in the normal weight range (60-80 kg). The
    infusion rates should be increased for larger patients and decreased for smaller patients.
    H. For sedation, start with an infusion only (no bolus) and titrate to level of wakefulness,
    respiratory rate, etc.
    I. Don't turn off the infusion until 5-10 minutes before the operation is finished.
    J. Once the infusion is off, be prepared to give 1-2 cc boluses of propofol for signs of light
    anesthesia. This allows assessment of anesthetic depth, and thus facilitates rapid emergence
    at the end of surgery.

    III. TIVA:
    A. Anticipate that the blood pressure will drop following the propofol/fentanyl induction. It
    usually returns promptly with intubation.
    B. Reduce the doses 25-50% for elderly, sick, or heavily premedicated patients.
    C. TIVA means no N2O and no isoflurane.
    D. Titrate the propofol infusion rate, not the ketamine infusion rate. If the patient seems to
    require a lot of propofol, give 25-50 µg fentanyl boluses.
    F. As with propofol, the ketamine infusion rate was designed for adults of average weight
    (60-80 kg). Adjust upward or downward for larger or smaller patients.
    G. Movement is a good sign of light anesthesia, so complete paralysis should be avoided if
    possible.
    H. Watch the pupils for signs of opioid overdose. If the pupils become pinpoint, don't
    administer addition opioid.
    K. TIVA with propofol/ketamine has not been associated with awareness. Propofol effectively
    blocks the psychotomimetic effects of ketamine.
