Abstract: | In order to clarify the relative contribution of the liver tothe short term disposition of propofol, hepatic blood flow wasmeasured during induction of anaesthesia with an i.v. bolusdose of propofol 2 mg kg1. Total clearance of the drugwas 2390 (SD 340) ml min1, hepatic extraction 82% andhepatic clearance 1060 (260) ml min1. During the 60-minperiod of observation, hepatic extraction of propofol increasedfrom 79% to 92%. It is concluded that, within 1 h, only 44%of the administered dose is removed by the liver. Consequently,drug accumulation may occur with repeated dosing or infusionof propofol. The increase in extraction results presumably fromslow release of propofol from the soy-bean emulsion.
