A Case Report %D 2014 %J Ochsner Journal %P 434-437 %V 14 %N 3 %X Background Propofol is commonly used and well tolerated for induction of general anesthesia and is also used as a sedative in the intensive care unit. However, in rare cases, the agent may cause a fatal condition known as propofol infusion syndrome (PRIS).Case Report We present a case of PRIS that could have been fatal in a previously healthy male patient with multiple gunshot wounds.Conclusion Because patients typically exhibit other potentially fatal comorbidities, PRIS is always a diagnosis of exclusion. The true incidence of PRIS remains unknown, and more objective criteria for its diagnosis need to be established. %U https://www.ochsnerjournal.org/content/ochjnl/14/3/434.full.pdf
