Was anyone else shocked with this propofol story?

Low dose or not, you wont find me putting any of my non-tubed pt's on propofol. There are plenty of other sedatives that dont cause the resp. compromise and do a good job.

And what the heck is that RN (or NP), acting as a nutritionist, blabbing about. I would be very afraid for my license if I were her. Someone had to start an IV and keep a drip going or the Diprivan would be ineffective due to it's short half life.

You have to wonder why she is blabbing? Notoriety?

Never considered Diprivan for insomnia. What's wrong with Ambien, Lunesta, Restoril?
