Propofol is indicated for the following:
1. Induction and maintenance of general anesthesia in adults and children
2. Sedation in intensive care units (ICU) for mechanically ventilated patients
3. Sedation for procedures such as endoscopy or minor surgeries
4. Sedation for diagnostic procedures such as MRI or CT scans
It is important to note that propofol should only be administered by trained healthcare professionals in a controlled setting due to its potential for respiratory depression and other serious side effects.
