Description

Propofol-Novo Suspension for Infusion 10 mg/ml.

Propofol-Novo is a medication used for sedation and anesthesia during medical procedures. It is administered intravenously as an infusion and is available in a concentration of 10 mg/ml. Each vial contains 50 ml. of the suspension.

Overview

Propofol-Novo is a potent sedative-hypnotic agent that acts quickly to induce and maintain anesthesia. It is commonly used in hospitals and surgical centers for procedures ranging from minor surgeries to intensive care unit sedation. The medication is known for its rapid onset of action and short duration of effect, making it an ideal choice for procedures that require a quick recovery time.

Indications

Propofol-Novo is indicated for:

  • Induction of anesthesia
  • Maintenance of anesthesia
  • Sedation for intubated and mechanically ventilated patients
  • Sedation for procedures such as colonoscopies and bronchoscopies

Mechanism of Action

Propofol-Novo works by enhancing the activity of the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain. This leads to sedation, hypnosis, and anesthesia. The medication also has antiemetic properties, helping to prevent nausea and vomiting during and after procedures.

Administration

Propofol-Novo should only be administered by healthcare professionals trained in the administration of general anesthesia. The medication is given intravenously through a dedicated line, typically at a rate of 2-4 mg/kg/hour for induction of anesthesia and 4-12 mg/kg/hour for maintenance of anesthesia. The dosage may vary depending on the patient’s age, weight, and medical condition.

Side Effects

Like all medications, Propofol-Novo can cause side effects. Common side effects include:

  • Hypotension (low blood pressure)
  • Respiratory depression
  • Bradycardia (slow heart rate)
  • Injection site pain
  • Transient local pain or burning sensation

Warnings and Precautions

Before administering Propofol-Novo, healthcare providers should be aware of the following warnings and precautions:

  • Respiratory monitoring is essential during and after administration
  • Patients should be closely monitored for signs of hypotension and bradycardia
  • Propofol-Novo should be used with caution in patients with impaired cardiac function
  • Special care should be taken when administering to elderly patients or those with compromised respiratory function

Storage and Handling

Propofol-Novo should be stored at room temperature away from light and moisture. The vial should be inspected visually for particulate matter or discoloration before use. Once opened, the medication should be used promptly or discarded according to hospital protocols.

Conclusion

Propofol-Novo is an important medication used in anesthesia and sedation for a variety of medical procedures. Its rapid onset of action and short duration make it a valuable tool for healthcare providers seeking to provide safe and effective sedation for their patients. By following proper administration techniques and monitoring for potential side effects, healthcare professionals can use Propofol-Novo to help ensure smooth and successful procedures for their patients.
