NJ is right, you can't give to effect but you can administer a specified amount under a vets guidance.

I think it is a bit of a grey area, as I was told that we cannot administer it to effect but if the vet says "give it 2mls" and you do so under his/her direction that is fine?? not sure if thats legally correct though!

As propofol is given to effect I thought nurses were not allowed to administer this. Only vets!

[/quote] I thought this too. Does the situation change when giving during seizures? just out of interest.

Are RVNs allowed to administer propofol under a vet's supervision?
