PROSPECTIVE RANDOMISED STUDY COMPARING THE HAEMODYNAMIC AND ENDOCRINE RESPONSE TO INDUCTION WITH ETOMIDATE AND PROPOFOL IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CARDIAC SURGERY ON CARDIOPULMONARY BYPASS

Abstract :

Haemodynamic status must be stable during induction for cardiac surgeries to avoid further myocardial deterioration. Compared to induction agents like Thiopentone , Propofol, Ketamine and Midazolam , Etomidate is found to have a more stable hemodynamic profile even though it causes a short term adrenocortical suppression.This study compares the haemodynamic profile and the hormonal alteration between Etomidate and Propofol following induction in cardiac surgery particularly in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery on cardiopulmonary bypass.
