propofol and Alcohol Withdrawal Associated Autonomic Hyperactivity

propofol has been researched along with Alcohol Withdrawal Associated Autonomic Hyperactivity in 11 studies

Propofol: An intravenous anesthetic agent which has the advantage of a very rapid onset after infusion or bolus injection plus a very short recovery period of a couple of minutes. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1992, 1st ed, p206). Propofol has been used as ANTICONVULSANTS and ANTIEMETICS.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Propofol is a viable alternative for patients refractory to benzodiazepines; however, the role of other agents remains unclear."2.53Treatment of Severe Alcohol Withdrawal. ( Cadiz, M; Doshi, MR; Holzhausen, JM; Natavio, A; Schmidt, KJ; Winegardner, JE, 2016)
"Propofol was the most common adjunct agent, with dexmedetomidine and antipsychotics also used."1.42Multicenter evaluation of pharmacologic management and outcomes associated with severe resistant alcohol withdrawal. ( Benedict, NJ; Kane-Gill, SL; Wong, A, 2015)
"Propofol has been reported to have successfully relieved alcohol withdrawal syndrome (AWS) symptoms in part because of activation of γ-aminobutyric acid channels in combination with antagonism of excitatory amino acids such as N-methyl-D-aspartate."1.40Propofol for benzodiazepine-refractory alcohol withdrawal in a non-mechanically ventilated patient. ( Adams, BD; Hughes, DW; Lepori, L; Vanwert, E, 2014)
"Once propofol infusion was discontinued after 48 h, 12 patients had a long awakening, displaying symptoms of prolonged sedation."1.40Use of propofol infusion in alcohol withdrawal-induced refractory delirium tremens. ( Bendtsen, AO; Lauritsen, AØ; Lorentzen, K, 2014)
"Patients with delirium tremens are usually treated in an intensive care unit in which benzodiazepines form the cornerstone of therapy."1.31Refractory delirium tremens treated with propofol: a case series. ( Marik, P; McCowan, C, 2000)
