Diprivan
Diprivan, also known as propofol, is a medication commonly used by healthcare providers to induce and maintain anesthesia during surgeries or procedures. It works quickly to put patients to sleep and relax them, allowing procedures to be performed without discomfort. Propofol is administered through an IV and is closely monitored by medical staff to ensure safety. It has a rapid onset and short duration of action, meaning its effects wear off quickly once the infusion stops. While effective, it requires careful use due to potential side effects like lowered blood pressure or respiratory depression.
