Population Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) of Microemulsion Propofol in Healthy Volunteers

Each subject received both propofol formulations in a crossover fashion separated by a 7-day washout period, and the order of the drug administration was randomized. Subjects received both propofol formulations (Lipid emulsion propofol: Diprivan® and Microemulsion propofol: AquafolTM) during 60 min. The infusion rate was assigned according to a nonblinded, randomized design to 1.5, 3, 6, or 12 mg/kg/hr.
