Description of first aid measures
If inhaledMove the victim into fresh air. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. If not breathing, give artificial respiration and consult a doctor immediately. Do not use mouth to mouth resuscitation if the victim ingested or inhaled the chemical.
Take off contaminated clothing immediately. Wash off with soap and plenty of water. Consult a doctor.
Rinse with pure water for at least 15 minutes. Consult a doctor.
Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a doctor or Poison Control Center immediately.
Most important symptoms and effects, both acute and delayed
no data available
Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed
If overdosage occurs, /propofol/... injectable emulsion administration should be discontinued immediately. Overdosage is likely to cause cardiorespiratory depression. Respiratory depression should be treated by artificial ventilation with oxygen. Cardiovascular depression may require repositioning of the patient by raising the patients legs, increasing the flow rate of iv fluids, and administering pressor agents and/or anticholinergic agents.
Extinguishing media
Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide or alcohol-resistant foam.

Advice for firefighters
Wear self-contained breathing apparatus for firefighting if necessary.

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures
Avoid dust formation. Avoid breathing mist, gas or vapours.Avoid contacting with skin and eye. Use personal protective equipment.Wear chemical impermeable gloves. Ensure adequate ventilation.Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas.Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak.
Environmental precautions
Prevent further spillage or leakage if it is safe to do so. Do not let the chemical enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up
Collect and arrange disposal. Keep the chemical in suitable and closed containers for disposal. Remove all sources of ignition. Use spark-proof tools and explosion-proof equipment. Adhered or collected material should be promptly disposed of, in accordance with appropriate laws and regulations.
Precautions for safe handling
Handling in a well ventilated place. Wear suitable protective clothing. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid formation of dust and aerosols. Use non-sparking tools. Prevent fire caused by electrostatic discharge steam.
Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities
Store the container tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place. Store apart from foodstuff containers or incompatible materials.

Exposure controls
Ensure adequate ventilation. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Set up emergency exits and the risk-elimination area.
Individual protection measures
Eye/face protectionWear tightly fitting safety goggles with side-shields conforming to EN 166(EU) or NIOSH (US).
Wear fire/flame resistant and impervious clothing. Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Wash and dry hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
If the exposure limits are exceeded, irritation or other symptoms are experienced, use a full-face respirator.

Chemical stability
Propofol is subject to oxidative degradation when exposed to oxygen. Intact containers are packaged using nitrogen to avoid oxygen exposure. if propofol is administered directly from the vial, administration should be completed within 12 hours after the vial is spiked. ... If Propofol emulsion is transferred to a syringe or other container prior to use, administration should be begun promptly and completed within six hours after the container is opened. After six hours, the product should be discarded and the lines should be flushed or discarded.

Persistence and degradability
AEROBIC: Biodegradation data for propofol were not found in the literature. However, data were found for the structurally similar compound 2,6-dimethylphenol. 2,6-Dimethylphenol, present at 100 ppm with a microbial population of 30 mg/l, reached 30 to 100 percent of its theoretical biological oxygen demand after 14 days in a Japanese MITI aerobic activated sludge screening test(1). A similar screening test resulted in 94 percent biodegradation in activated sludge after 5 days(2). Based on the biodegradation data for this structurally similar compound, propofol may biodegrade in the natural environment. However, biodegradation of propofol may be slower than that of 2,6-dimethylphenol due to the increased branching of the isopropyl groups of propofol compared to the methyl groups of 2,6-dimethylphenol(3).
Bioaccumulative potential
An estimated BCF of 170 was calculated for propofol(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.79(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is high(SRC).
Mobility in soil
The Koc of propofol is estimated as 2700(SRC), using a log Kow of 3.79(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that propofol is expected to have slight mobility in soil.
Other adverse effects
no data available
Disposal methods
ProductThe material can be disposed of by removal to a licensed chemical destruction plant or by controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing. Do not contaminate water, foodstuffs, feed or seed by storage or disposal. Do not discharge to sewer systems.
Containers can be triply rinsed (or equivalent) and offered for recycling or reconditioning. Alternatively, the packaging can be punctured to make it unusable for other purposes and then be disposed of in a sanitary landfill. Controlled incineration with flue gas scrubbing is possible for combustible packaging materials.
