- Title
Rapid sequence induction in the emergency department: induction drug and outcome of patients admitted to the intensive care unit.
- Authors
Baird, C R W; Hay, A W; McKeown, D W; Ray, D C
- Abstract
Etomidate is used widely for rapid sequence induction (RSI) of anaesthesia in the emergency department (ED) as a result of its relative cardiovascular stability. There is concern over possible adrenal suppression and also that outcomes could be worse than in patients given other induction drugs. This possible association has not been studied in ED patients undergoing RSI.
