AB  - Propofol, an intravenously administered, centrally acting sedative/hypnotic, is a 
      popular medication for anesthesia and sedation due to rapid onset, 
      controllability and short recovery time. Prolonged propofol infusions, (>48 h) 
      with elevated doses (>67 mcg/kg/min) may result in a rare but fatal condition 
      known as the Propofol Related Infusion Syndrome (PRIS). This is a case of severe 
      metabolic acidosis and refractory hyperkalemia in a 53 year old female with 
      polytrauma on a continuous propofol infusion that was associated with fatal 
      outcome.
