LIkely nothing: You likely won't remember feeling a thing. Diprivan (propofol is trade name) is a short acting hypnotic agent administered by the vein (intravenously). When injected in a vein, the patient usually experiences a burning sensation at the site of injection. Some patients have reported a feeling of euphoria, but most simply don't recall ever being sedated.
