Session information
- Title:
- 07c_04_04 Etomidate
- Description:
- This session covers the induction agent etomidate. Etomidate (in clinical use since 1972) has a very stable haemodynamic profile. However, due to the inhibition of adrenocortical steroid synthesis after a single dose or infusion, the popularity of etomidate has declined.
