Sleep Expert -- Dr. Nader Kamangar Testifies Updated 10/12/11 at 1:50 PM Dr.
Nadar Kamangar -- a pulmonary and critical care doctor who specializes in sleep medicine -- just told the jury Dr.
Conrad Murray's use of Propofol outside of a highly monitored facility was "inconceivable."
Kamangar -- who is an adviser for the CA Medical Board -- said he found "multiple extreme deviations" in Murray's standard of care as it relates to insomnia.
* Dr. Kamangar
told the court insomnia is a common problem in the ICU ... he said he uses Propofol on a daily basis. * He says he's very careful when using the sedative because it can be extremely unpredictable, especially when used with other sedatives. * Kamangar told the jury patients on Propofol need to be closely monitored because their status can change at any minute. * He said Murray's treatment of Michael Jackson amounted to "gross negligence." * Kamanger told prosecutors it's "imperative" to administer Proporol through an automated pump to because it's so powerful.
