Final answer:

Propofol reduces CMRI2, CBF, and ICP.

Step-by-step explanation:

Propofol is a medication used for anesthesia andsedation. It acts as a central nervous system depressant, causing a decrease in cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (CMRI2) and cerebral blood flow (CBF). Propofol also reduces intracranial pressure (ICP) by decreasing cerebral blood volume and inhibiting cerebral metabolism.
