<unk>  is used to induce general<unk>  while avoiding the disadvantages of volatile<unk>  (and traditional inhalation agents).<unk>  anesthetic agents are titrated at safe doses to maintain stage III surgical<unk>  (unconsciousness, amnesia immobility, and absence of response to noxious stimulation). The use of<unk>  is advantageous in cases where volatile<unk>  is of high risk or is impossible, such as cases involving morbidly obese patients.<unk>  has also been used for anesthetic delivery at sites of trauma such as serious accidents, disasters and wars. The overall goals of<unk>  include: * Smooth induction of<unk>  * Reliable and measurable maintenance of<unk>  * Rapid emergence out of the effects of infused drugs as soon as the infusion is terminated. Propofol-based<unk>  significantly improves post-operative recovery profile and comfort, minimizes nausea and vomiting, facilitates rapid recovery, greater hemodynamic stability, preservation of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, reduction in intracerebral pressure, and reduces the risk of organ toxicity. Despite these advantages, it accounts for a small proportion of general anesthetics due to the relatively expensive cost of preparation and maintenance.
