Propofol
Propofol is a fast-acting intravenous anesthetic that primarily exerts sedative and hypnotic effects by enhancing GABAergic inhibition in the central nervous system. It is frequently used for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia as well as for sedation in intensive care medicine. Due to its effects on the respiratory center and the cardiovascular system, there is a high risk of life-threatening side effects with improper use.
