How long does it take to wake up after sedation with propofol for hernia surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very quickly: Propofol is a short acting medication. It should wear off very quickly once the infusion pump is off. However, driving or operating dangerous equipment should be avoided for a minimum of 8-10 hours.
