Propofol is a sedative-hypnotic agent that has been popular for use in adult and paediatric procedural sedation for over a decade. The agent's rapid onset of effect and short duration of action allow for efficient sedation and recovery. Propofol has antiemetic properties and post-procedural side effects are rare. Caution must be used with Propofol, as it can be associated with significant respiratory depression and/or hypotension (1). The prolonged use of Propofol in children can produce acidosis, but this is not a problem for single use for an acute painful procedure.
