[Is propofol (Diprivan) indicated in emergency surgery?]. / Pokazan li e propofol (Diprivan) v speshnata khirurgiia.

Propofol is an anesthetic characterized by specific pharmacologic qualities, conditioning compliance of the clinical picture with the drug infusional rate, high-degree safety and facilitated anesthesia conduction--qualities by which it bears resemblance to inhalation anesthesia. This is an assessment of the qualities of TIVA with Propofol in poor-risk patients according to ASA, operated on an emergency basis. Proceeding from the obtained results, the inference is reached that continuous Propofol infusion provides for adequate anesthesia control and safety of the patients with heightened anesthesiologic and operative risk.
