Comparison of the hemodynamic effects of etomidate-midazolam and ketamine-midazolam combinations in anesthesia induction in coronary artery bypass surgery

Aims: We aimed to compare the effects of anesthesia induction on hemodynamic parameters ketamine-midazolam or etomidate-midazolam combinations and coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.
 Material Methods: 40 adult patients undergoing CABG were randomly allocated into two groups for this prospective randomized double-blinded study. Ketamine group (n = 20) Etomidate 20). Intraoperative postoperative variables, adrenal gland functions intensive care period compared after with etomidate ketamine.
 Results: Perioperative not significantly different between groups. Despite similar baseline measurements, cortisol levels higher 5 minutes induction, during rewarming, ACTH stimulation test at day 1 in ketamine than etmidate. The terms duration mechanical ventilation, frequency delirium, unit hospital lengths stay.
 Conclusion: Ketamine-midazolam combination is an acceptable alternative stability. Compared combination, decreased intraoperative early periods
