Trained nurses in most critical care settings often administer propofol safely to patients who are intubated and ventilated. However, some practitioners have been lulled into a false sense of ...

The team then showed that propofol-induced transport delays led to a significant decrease of protein delivery to axons. "The mechanism by which propofol works is not fully understood," Bentley said.

The "cross check" with genetically modified GABA receptors in transgenic mice which no longer responded to propofol confirmed that the mechanism of action is the same: the altered receptor also no ...
