title: Asthma, sedation, and the podiatric patient.
abstract: Propofol is a common drug used for anesthetic induction of patients undergoing surgery. This popular drug has been around for many years and has been subjected to changes in formulation from its original patented formula. Once touted as safe, the newer propofol may possess hidden dangers, particularly for individuals suffering with hyperreactive airway disease.
