Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialConscious sedation by low dose propofol infusion during spinal anesthesia for cesarean section.

Clinical effects and dose requirement of intravenous propofol infusion were evaluated for this purpose. ⋯ Intravenous infusion of propofol with a rate of 3-4 mg/kg/h after 0.3-0.4 mg/kg bolus injection is a sale, simple and satisfactory intraoperative postdelivery sedation technique in elective patients undergoing Cesarean section under spinal anesthesia.
