A prospective comparative study to compare cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and intubation after induction of anaesthesia by propofol and etomidate
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Clinical Anaesthesia - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Context: Etomidate is having more stable cardiovascular response as compared to propofol during laryngoscopy and intubation. Aims: The present study compares the effect of propofol and etomidate on cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and intubation. Settings and Design: This prospective comparative study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in central India. Methods and Material: Hundred healthy patients of both sex aged between 18 to 45 years, ASA physical status I & II, scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia were selected. Patients in group P (n=48) were induced with propofol 2.5 mg/kg i.v. and group E (n=47) were induced with etomidate 0.3 mg/kg i.v. Patients’ haemodynamic and cardiovascular parameters were recorded before induction (T1), before intubation (T2) and 1, 3, 5 and 10 minutes afterwards. The haemodynamic parameters before induction i.e. T1 was taken as baseline. Statistical analysis used: The data was collected using Microsoft Excel software and was analysed using SPSS software version17.0. Results: There was significant difference regarding systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure among two groups. Hypotension was seen in 18.8% patients in group P after induction while there was none in group E. Conclusions: Etomidate is having more stable cardiovascular response as compared to propofol during laryngoscopy and intubation.

Background: Action of non depolarising neuromuscular relaxants can be potentiated by small dose of priming. Priming reduces the time of onset of muscle relaxants by binding and occupying the choline receptors. Whereas ma...
Etomidate versus Propofol as induction agent in patients undergoing Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreaticogram (ERCP)
Background: Endoscopic retrograde pancreaticogram (ERCP) requires patient to be sedated and pain free in prone position. Propofol sedation may cause cardiorespiratory depression. Etomidate is a good alternative with stab...
