Pharmacodynamic properties : After intravenous injection of Propofol, onset of the hypnotic effect occurs rapidly. Depending on the rate of injection, the
time to induction of anaesthesia is between 30 and 40 seconds. The duration of action after a single bolus administration
is short due to the rapid metabolism and excretion (4-6 minutes).
With the recommended dosage schedule, a clinically relevant accumulation of propofol after repeated bolus injection or after infusion has not been observed. Patients recover consciousness rapidly.
Bradycardia and hypotension occasionally occur during induction of anaesthesia probably due to a lack of vagolytic
activity. The cardio-circulatory situation usually normalises during maintenance of anaesthesia.
