propofol and Cerebral Infarction

propofol has been researched along with Cerebral Infarction in 8 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.
propofol : A phenol resulting from the formal substitution of the hydrogen at the 2 position of 1,3-diisopropylbenzene by a hydroxy group.

Cerebral Infarction: The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction).

( Chung, C; Lee, Y; Oh, YS, 2000)
"As propofol has been reported to have effects similar to those of thiopentone on cerebral blood flow, intracranial pressure and cerebral metabolic rate, we postulated that it might also have a protective effect on focal cerebral ischemia."3.69Propofol does not reduce infarct volume in rats undergoing permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion. ( Chang, CL; Cheng, JT; Huang, SJ; Lai, YY; Tsai, YC, 1994)

"Propofol has not been studied directly in animals subject to cerebral ischemia in the conscious state."1.31Propofol anesthesia compared to awake reduces infarct size in rats. ( Bayona, NA; Cechetto, DF; Gelb, AW; Wilson, JX, 2002)
