The dose of propofol depends on the level of sedation or anesthesia required. For conscious sedation, a lower dose is typically used, while a higher dose is required for general anesthesia. The typical dose for conscious sedation can range from 0.5 to 1.5 mg/kg/hour, while the dose for general anesthesia can range from 2 to 5 mg/kg/hour.
It is important to note that propofol should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional due to its potential side effects and the risk of complications.
