Managing Life‐Threatening Tracheal Malignancy and Lung Metastases in a Young Woman: A Case of Aggressive Airway Intervention

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 6, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Infiltrative tracheal malignancies are exceptionally rare among younger individuals, but when they do occur, they present a significant and immediate risk due to severe airway compromise. Managing the airway in such cases is extremely challenging in low‐resource settings and requires a highly skilled team of anesthesiologists utilizing ...

Propofol

2008
The hypnotic agent propofol has pharmacokinetic characteristics that allow for rapid onset and offset of drug effect and fast elimination from the body. Elderly patients show a greater sensitivity to the hypnotic effect of propofol. The drug is extensively metabolized in the liver through the cytochrome P450 system and glucuronidation, with potential ...

The pharmacology of propofol

Journal of Clinical Anesthesia, 1989
A review of the pharmacology of propofol, a new IV anesthetic agent, is presented. Solubilized in a soybean emulsion, propofol is one of a series of sterically hindered phenols that exhibit anesthetic activity. Induction of anesthesia with propofol may be associated with pain on injection, apnea, and a reduction in arterial blood pressure (BP) and ...

Comparison of Propofol‐Lipuro with propofol mixed with lidocaine 10 mg on propofol injection pain

Anaesthesia, 2004
SummaryA common drawback of propofol is pain on injection and lidocaine is commonly mixed with propofol to reduce its incidence and severity. We conducted a randomised, prospective, double‐blind study to compare injection pain following the administration of two different formulations of propofol in 200 unpremedicated ASA I–III adult patients scheduled

Propofol-Infusionssyndrom

Der Anaesthesist, 2004
Propofol infusion syndrome has not only been observed in patients undergoing long-term sedation with propofol, but also during propofol anesthesia lasting 5 h. It has been assumed that the pathophysiologic cause is propofol's impairment of oxidation of fatty acid chains and inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation in the mitochondria, leading to lactate

Propofol Is a Peroxynitrite Scavenger

Anesthesia & Analgesia, 1997
P eroxynitrite is a potent oxidant formed by the rapid reaction between nitric oxide and superoxide radical (1). The peroxynitrite anion is relatively stable, but it can rapidly protonate to peroxynitrous acid, an unstable species, which decomposes with a half-life of about one second at pH 7.4 (1,2).

Endoscopist-directed propofol

Techniques in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 2009
Endoscopist-directed propofol (EDP) refers to delivery of propofol for endoscopic sedation under the direction of an endoscopist without any involvement of an anesthesia specialist (anesthesiologist or nurse anesthetist). EDP has been proven to be safe and is also cost-effective compared with the anesthetist delivered sedation for endoscopy.

Propofol

Anesthesiology, 2005
Propofol is a potent lipophilic anesthetic that was initially formulated in Cremophor El for human use. Because of the occurrence of Cremophor EL anaphylaxis and improvements in the quality of lipid emulsions, it was ultimately brought to market as 1% propofol formulated in 10% soybean oil emulsion.
