What is proprofol?

Propofol (Diprivan) is used to induce or maintain anesthesia during certain surgeries, tests, or procedures.

Can you use propofol or diprivan if you have a allergy to sulfa?

no. According to my research, you can use Diprivan for patients with sulfa allergy because it doesn't contain sodium bisulfite. The generic form of Propofol does contain bisulfite in it. However, more recent generic Propofol contains benyl alcohol instead of bisulfite to reduce bacterial growth in the vial. Bottom line: Look at ingredients of Propofol before giving to sulfa allergic patients.

How did Michael Jackson get a heart attack?

Michael Jackson did not have a heart attack. He suffered cardiac arrest after being given an intravenous injection of anaesthetic (in his home). The drug he was supposedly given (the investigation is not finished yet) is called Diprivan (propofol) and it is only supposed to be used in a hospital before a surgery.

Was it really his doctor's fault that the doctor killed Michael Jackson?

The police investigation is not complete yet. But, according to CNN they're only looking at Dr. Murray as he may have administered Diprivan (propofol) in the last 24hrs of Michael Jackson's life which supposedly killed him. Diprivan is an anesthetic administered intravenously for surgeries only and MUST only be used in a hospital environment.

Which gases are used in hospital to put people to sleep?

Knocking people out in hospital is called anaesthesia. To start an anaesthetic, the anaesthetist injects a medicine into the patient's vein. They used to use Pentothal, but that has been phased out now. These days they use Diprivan. These quick acting knockout injections are called "induction agents" and they only work for a couple of minutes. As soon as the patient is knocked out, the anaesthetist adds other medicines and gases to keep the patient asleep. At the end of the procedure, they use other drugs to "reverse" the anaesthetic.

What is the most commonly used general anesthetic?

There Are Several Different Anesthesia Options Available for Surgery. the Most Common Is General Anesthesia, Where the Patient Effectively Sleeps Through the Surgery and Feels Nothing. Regional Anesthesiology Is Another Option. This Includes the Epidural and Similar Procedures, Where Certain Parts of the Body Are Numbed but the Patient Remains Awake. Epidurals Are Commonly Used During Childbirth. There Are Other Types Also Available, but These Are the Two Most Common Options.

What makes you fall asleep before surgery?

penethal ADDITION: Basically, what "makes you fall asleep is the combination of drugs that an anesthesiologist givens your before surgery. There are many forms of anesthesia that are used to help you "fall asleep," these forms of anesthesia keep you in a drug-induced state of unconsciousness during surgery. Some of the anesthesia drugs used are - Propofol and Diprivan (the most common), Anaspaz…; there are a number of pre-anesthesia drugs, some of these are - Benzodiazepines, Phenothiazine (Tranquilizer), Avertin… Generally before surgery, you are given a mild sedative drug that will help you relax; this sedative may even allow you to fall asleep. However, if you get very nervous before surgery (as nervous as I do), your body's natural adrenalin, will fight off the doziness caused by the sedative. The drugs that are used to put you under during surgery are very different; and those drugs are not easily over-ridden by your body's adrenaline. There are also drugs which inhibit the patient's ability to remember their procedure. You may or may NOT fall asleep when given one of these drugs, but sleep is not as much the function of these drugs, as the ability they have to interfere with your memory. The types of general anesthesia vary, these drugs are given intravenously and by injection; whereby causing the patient to fall into a deep drug induced sleep. There are also forms of anesthesia that are delivered in a gas or vapor form; these are administered though a breathing tube or mask. Anesthesia drugs are also grouped together, intravenous or injection, and inhalation may be used in combination. An anesthesiologist must monitor your breathing during the surgery, as well as you heart-rate, body temperature, oxygen levels, blood pressure and more. The primary function of anesthesia and its combination of drugs are designed to relieve pain with analgesics; to immobilize, causing muscle paralysis that restricts movement; and as a sedative to induce sleep, unconsciousness, or cause amnesia (memory loss). In summary, all surgeries and all forms of anesthesia medication pose a small risk to life; some people may develop complications due to the anesthesia, sadly anesthesia can result in the death of some patients. A patient must be carefully monitored by an anesthesiologist during surgery.

What was the cause of Michael Jackson's death?

On June 25th 2009 police received a call at 12:30pm from Michael Jackson's Bel-Air mansion. Paramedics rushed to the scene and found Michael Jackson in a coma, not breathing. He was rushed to UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, CA. "The King of Pop" died the same day, June 25th 2009 2:26pm, due to cardiac arrest (heart stoppage), at the age of 50. Cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack, when you have a heart attack, your heart still beats, at least initially, sending blood/oxygen around the body. Blood flow to the heart itself is blocked, and this can damage the heart. A severe heart attack can cause a cardiac arrest. When you go into cardiac arrest, your heart stops completely. Most adults who are not resuscitated after around ten minutes will die due to lack of oxygen flow to the brain. On August 28th 2009 the cause of Jackson's cardiac arrest was reported as a combination of the potent drugs propofol, lorazepam and midazolam. The death was classified as a homicide, and law enforcement officials were investigating the actions of his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray.
