Method Propofol, seizures, and asphyxiation: an assessment of probable outcomes.

[Grotes4ue]

Hello everyone. I hope this post is appropriate. My question is scientific—I have several vials of propofol (what Michael Jackson died from), and the question is this: what is the most likely outcome if one were to use it as a method?

The plan would be to pour all the propofol into a container of water for injection, set up an IV drip, and insert a catheter so that when seizures begin, the needle doesn't slip out of the vein. The outcome would be asphyxiation, but the question is whether the person would be conscious or not. We know that the human body is quite resilient, and I suspect that at that catastrophic moment when asphyxiation begins, it will rally and "regain consciousness." I have experienced sleep paralysis and an epileptic seizure with respiratory arrest—it is very scary, a real, animalistic, primal fear and horror, primarily because of the stopped breathing.

Alternatively, would the propofol cause sufficient CNS depression? If so, why do lethal injections use not only a general anesthetic but also muscle relaxants and opiates?

In short, friends, please share your opinion and assess the probable outcomes in percentage terms. (Sorry for any errors, I'm using a translator).

There are several threads on this forum talking about propofol, you might want to read those for more detailed info. As far as i know, propofol, as an anesthetic, will not cause seizures nor asphyxiation. In a large enough dose, it will cause CNS depression that will lead to the cessation of breathing, while under a very deep coma, and one will die due to a respiratory arrest (hypoxia) quickly followed by a cardiac arrest. I think that frightening term "asphyxiation" is mainly used when there is a mechanical obstruction that prevents a person from breathing.
