Propofol causes global CNS depression, presumably through agonism of GABAA receptors and perhaps reduced glutamatergic activity through NMDA receptor blockade. Propofol dosing ️️1-2 mg/kg initial dose; 25-150 mcg/kg/min infusion rate Ketamine MOA ️️NMDA(n-methyl d-aspartate) (nerve cell) receptor antagonist; Produces a cataleptic-like state in which the patient is dissociated from the surrounding environment by direct action on the cortex and limbic system.
