propofol and Fasciculation

propofol has been researched along with Fasciculation in 4 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.

Fasciculation: Involuntary contraction of the muscle fibers innervated by a motor unit. Fasciculations may be visualized as a muscle twitch or dimpling under the skin, but usually do not generate sufficient force to move a limb. They may represent a benign condition or occur as a manifestation of MOTOR NEURON DISEASE or PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASES. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1294)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Succinylcholine is a popular muscle relaxant and one of its most common side effects is muscle fasciculation."9.14Pretreatment with remifentanil is associated with less succinylcholine-induced fasciculation. ( Arastheh, MT; Nasseri, K; Shami, S, 2010)
"The purpose of this prospective study was to determine the effects of high-dose propofol on the incidence of fasciculations and myalgia, and to evaluate changes in creatine kinase levels following the administration of succinylcholine in 90 women who underwent laparoscopy."9.10Effects of high-dose propofol on succinylcholine-induced fasciculations and myalgia.
