We need to continuously make sure that people don’t have access to opioids or other drugs that can be harmful, and we do this by teaching people to dispose of all medications properly.

Dr. Deni Carise

Chief Scientific Officer, Recovery Centers of America
Ease of access is a primary reason that propofol abuse is increasing, making proper disposal of unused propofol a paramount concern. Tailored interventions to address barriers that CRNAs experience to disposal of propofol in the sink included using propofol bottle openers and carbon pouches, which significantly decreased the number of unemptied propofol vials remaining in unsecured bins in the ORs, thereby decreasing access for diversion.
