propofol and Substance Withdrawal Syndrome

propofol has been researched along with Substance Withdrawal Syndrome in 46 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.

Substance Withdrawal Syndrome: Physiological and psychological symptoms associated with withdrawal from the use of a drug after prolonged administration or habituation. The concept includes withdrawal from smoking or drinking, as well as withdrawal from an administered drug.

Trial Outcomes

Description of Signs and Symptoms of OIWS in Patients Who Scored Positive for Withdrawal Syndrome (OIWS) According to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) Criteria

"Percentage of daily assessments associated with each of the following signs and symptoms experienced by patients with and without OIWS (Restlessness (Richmond Agitation-Sedation scale = 1), Agitation (RASS > 1), Anxiety, Hallucinations, Insomnia/sleep disturbance (< 4 hours of continuous sleep), Mydriasis (Pupil diameter > 2 mm) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) > 140 mmHg. These assessments were performed once daily.~Note that for the group of patients experiencing IWS, the data on signs and symptoms are limited to the assessment on the day that patients experienced OIWS.~The signs and symptoms presented (Restlessness; Agitation; Anxiety, Hallucinations, Insomnia/sleep disturbance; mydriasis; SBP > 140) were selected based on a > 15 % absolute difference between both groups which was judged to be clinically significant." (NCT03435614)
Timeframe: From first day of opioid dose reduction until transfer out of Intensive care unit (ICU) or a maximum of 14 days, including one further assessment post-ICU transfer
