First, propofol is a sedating IV medication that is either used by anesthesiologists during procedures or surgeries or in the ICU to sedate patients who resist their “breathing machine”. It is a drug that has to be monitored EXTREMELY close (heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure) for signs of respiratory depression or bradycardia which can lead to an arrest. Usually patients are on oxygen or a ventilator while getting it. There MUST BE recessitory equipment available e.g. endotracheal tube for intubation (which a doctor must be trained to insert the tube properly), oxygen, defibrillator and well-trained staff. The fact that this doctor used this drug AT ALL in the home is extreme negligence to the degree of a crime in itself, even if it was not the only drug that MJ had in his system when the tox results come back. Also, giving propofol when you know a patient has taken a myriad of other sedatives is even more dangerous. This physician couldn’t even follow the basic cardiac life support guidelines, let alone advanced cardiac life support. SCAREY!!!!
