The physician decides to administer propofol (Diprivan) and intubate A.A. to support his
airway. What is propofol, and why is it being administered to A.A.?
What will be an ideal response?
Propofol (Diprivan) is a parenteral general anesthetic used for the induction and maintenance of
general anesthesia and for sedation for mechanical ventilation. Administering propofol to A.A. will
allow for easier intubation, will assist with optimal ventilation once he is intubated, and might assist
in the cessation of seizure activity.
