[Sedation with propofol in COPD patients in the ICU].
Sedation with propofol was achieved in 10 patients with COPD admitted into ICU because of acute respiratory insufficiency. Propofol dosage was 1-3 mg/kg-1/h and the testing period 30-144 h. Curarization was non required. Sedation with propofol, valued by means of Ramsay Score, was suitable in all tested patients. Bio-humoral and instrumental monitoring have not evidenced side effects.
