Depends: totally depends on what type of procedure you had. If it was a relatively small procedure then propofol alone may be all that you received. For example colonoscopies are routinely done with just propofol. If however it was a more significant surgery then most likely some inhalational anesthetics was probably added. In that case propofol would simply be the induction agent.
