Green Urine: A Rare Adverse Effect of Propofol in Critically Ill Children

Propofol is an intravenous agent commonly used for anesthesia induction, procedural interventions, and sedation in intensive care units due to its rapid onset and relatively safe profile.In this report, we present the case of a 12-year-old male patient with traumatic brain injury who developed green urine following propofol infusion for sedation.After excluding other potential causes of urine discoloration, the propofol infusion was discontinued at the 50th hour, and the urine color returned to normal within 5 hours.We aimed to highlight that green urine, which may be alarming for clinicians, is a benign side effect of propofol and does not impact renal function.
