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.

This drug is associated, however, with myoclonic movements which is characterized by a sudden, brief muscle contractions as a disturbing side-effect. O...

Effect of thiopentone, etomidate and propofol on systemic vascular resistance during cardiopulmonary bypass.

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...

Effect 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 ...
