Development of extended pharmacokinetic models for propofol based on measured blood and brain concentrations

Abstract Propofol’s pharmacokinetics have been extensively studied using human blood samples and applied to target-controlled infusion systems; however, information on its concentration in the brain remains scarce. Therefore, this study aimed to simultaneously measure propofol plasma and brain conce...
