“These results indicate that binding to foetal albumin is a determining feature in the control of the placental transfer of propofol , and that the pharmacological effects of propofol on the foetus can be expected to be fairly constant and predictable from the maternal propofol concentration.”
“… propofol were … augmented albumin concentrations in the foetal perfusate (1.68 (SD 0.68), 3.08 (1.55), 4.79 (1.76), 5.75 (1.89) and ….46) ml h-1 g-1 at the albumin concentrations of 4.4, 11, 22, 33 and 44 g litre-1, respectively).”
