Effect of premedication on etomidate anaesthesia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of premedication upon the induction of anaesthesia with etomidate was studied in 74 adult patients undergoing elective orthopaedic surgery. Premedication with fentanyl plus atropine or with diazepam plus atropine decreased the frequency of involuntary muscle movements without modifying the pattern of the circulatory effects of etomidate, although fentanyl increased the frequency of apnoea. Pain at the site of injection was not modified by premedication.

Effect of dose and premedication on induction complications with etomidate.
The induction characteristics of etomidate, a new i.v. hypnotic agent, were studied in 400 patients. Two hundred were premedicated with atropine and anaesthesia was induced with 0.2, 0.25, 0.3 or 0.35 mg/kg of etomidate. The remainder received one of four standard premedications and anaesthesia was induced with etomidate 0.3 mg/kg. Involuntary muscle movements occurred in more than 60% of patie...

The incidence of apnoea was 40% in those who received the non-narcotic premedication, compared with 27% in those who received the opiate. Those premedicated with diazepam and atropine showed a significant increase in respiratory frequency which was ...

BACKGROUND Etomidate is a potent hypnotic agent with several desirable advantages such as providing a stable cardiovascular profile with minimal respiratory adverse effects and better hemodynamic stability compared with other induction agents. This drug is associated, however, with myoclonic movements which is characterized by a sudden, brief muscle contractions as a disturbing side-effect. O...

We have studied the effect of thiopentone, etomidate and propofol on systemic vascular resistance (SVR) during cardiopulmonary bypass with constant pump flow in 30 patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass surgery. SVR decreased to 78% of control values after thiopentone 4 mg kg-1, to 72% of control after etomidate 0.3 mg kg-1, and to 68% of control after propofol 2 mg kg-1; it return...
متن کاملEffect of etomidate on the auditory evoked response in man.
The effect of etomidate on the auditory evoked response was examined in a double-blind study carried out before the start of surgery. Fourteen patients were anaesthetized with 70% nitrous oxide and oxygen after induction with thiopentone. Ventilation was controlled. Seven of the patients received a continuous infusion of etomidate, increasing in five equal steps from 0.01 mg kg-1 min-1 to 0.05 ...
