Q

What is the reason aquavan (fospropofol) isn’t used often?

A

Fospropofol is the prodrug of propofol, once it gets to the plasma, it hydrolyzes to propofol. It effects people differently and is therefore very unpredictable, has slower onset, higher VD, and higher potency

Q

Propofol induction dose? Adult vs. toddler
GA maintenance dose?
