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...

Effectiveness of sodium thiopentone, propofol, and etomidate as an ideal intravenous anesthetic agent for modified electroconvulsive therapy

INTRODUCTION Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a well-established psychiatric treatment in which seizures are electrically induced in patients for therapeutic effects. ECT can produce severe disturbances in the cardiovascular system and a marked increase in cerebral blood flow and intracranial pressure. These cardiovascular changes may be altered using various anesthetic drugs. AIM AND OBJEC...

Changes in haemodynamic variables with thiopentone, methohexitone, propofol and etomidate.

Comparison of the Haemodynamic Effects of Three Different Methods at the Induction of Anaesthesia.

OBJECTIVE Haemodynamic variations are inevitable during induction of anaesthetic drugs. The present study investigates the haemodynamic variations of three different drugs (thiopental, propofol, and etomidate) used for induction of general anaesthesia together with fentanyl. METHODS In a randomized, double-blind study, 45 patients were assigned to one of three groups (n=15 each). Fentanyl 1 μ...
