Etomidate for induction of anaesthesia at caesarean section: comparison with thiopentone.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Thirty mothers undergoing elective Caesarean section received thiopentone 3.5 mg kg-1 and 30 received etomidate 0.3 mg kg-1 for induction of anaesthesia. Subsequent management of anaesthesia was identical in both groups. Maternal to fetal base excess differences and the degree of biochemical correlation between mother and infant were more favourable following etomidate than following thiopentone. The clinical status of the newborn was considered superior with etomidate.

A comparison between methohexitone and thiopentone as induction agents for caesarean section anaesthesia.
For several years, the technique of anaesthesia for Caesarean section most commonly used in this hospital has been a sequence similar to that described by Hodges and his colleagues (1959); namely, thiopentone and suxamethonium followed by controlled respiration with nitrous oxide and oxygen. Hodges and his co-workers found that this method caused less depression of the infant than when trichlor...
متن کاملComparison of etomidate in combination with fentanyl or diazepam, with thiopentone as an induction agent for general anaesthesia.
In 104 premedicated patients undergoing general surgery, anaesthesia was induced either with etomidate 0.3 mg kg-1 preceded by fentanyl 1.25 or 2.5 microgram kg-1 i.v.or diazepam 0.0625 or 0.125 mg kg-1 i.v., or with thiopentone preceded by fentanyl 1.25 microgram kg-1 i.v. Despite the use of fentanyl or diazepam, the frequency of pain on injection in patients receiving etomidate was between 32...
متن کاملComparison 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...
متن کاملVecuronium induced bradycardia following induction of anaesthesia with etomidate or thiopentone, with or without fentanyl.
To define the role of vecuronium in the occurrence of bradyarrhythmia, haemodynamic changes after the induction of anaesthesia were studied in 96 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients were assigned to one of six groups according to different combinations of induction agents (etomidate 0.3 mg kg-1 or thiopentone 3 mg kg-1, with fentanyl 0.003 mg kg-1; etomidate 0.4-0.5 mg...
متن کاملComparison of the effects of etomidate and thiopentone on intraocular pressure.
The effects of etomidate and thiopentone on intraocular pressure were studied in 50 patients of either sex undergoing routine non-ophthalmic surgery. Both drugs decreased intraocular pressure significantly. However, etomidate induced a significantly greater decrease in intraocular pressure than did thiopentone.
