LESSER KNOWN FACTS ABOUT A WELL KNOWN PERSON : PROPOFOL

✔️Pain on injection due to Propofol is INCREASED BY

🔹rapid injection

🔹lower temperature of the propofol 

🔹the use of an IV carrier infusion to dilute the propofol as it enters the vein

✔️ Propofol is almost entirely un-ionised in solution

✔️ The soya bean oil and egg components are denatured by processing and there is no evidence that propofol should be avoided in patients with allergies to eggs or soya
