Abstract

Stability of hemodynamic during induction of general anesthesia in surgical patients is very important. Our current study was used to compare hemodynamic parameters and side effects (myoclonus and nausea / vomiting) for induction of general anesthesia by etomidate and thiopentone in surgical patients. No other class of pharmacologic agents is more central to the practice of anesthesiology than the intravenous sedatives and hypnotics. The study was performed on 80 patients between the ages of 18 and 60 under elective surgery under general anesthesia. Etomidate is characterized by good cardiovascular stability compared to thiopentone. Etomidate can be used as a safe, haemodynamically stable and effective alternative to thiopentone for induction of general anaesthesia
