To Evaluate Hemodynamic Effect of Propofol and Etomidate as Induction Agents in Elective Surgeries
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: One of the major concerns of the anaesthetist during induction of anesthesia is maintenance of haemodynamic stability. Various induction agents have been used during induction like thiopentone, propofol, ketamine and etomidate. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the hemodynamic effect ofPropofoland Etomidate as induction agents in elective surgeries undergeneral anesthesia. Material and Methodology: Sixty (60) patients of age group (18-60 years) of ASA grade I and II were randomly divided into two groups of thirty patients each, as follows: Group I: Propofol 2 mg/kg was given intravenously as induction agent. Group II: Etomidate 0.3 mg/kg was given intravenously as induction agent. The various haemodynamic parameters were recorded and compared. Result: A significant difference inhaemodyanamic parameters seen between both the groups. In group I (Propofol) HR, SBP, DBP, MBP significantly decrease at the time of induction and upto 60 minutes (p<0.05) whereas in group II (Etomidate ) lesserfall in hemodynamics parameters seen as compared to group I (p>0.05). Conclusion: Induction with etomidate is associated with lesser fall in haemodynamic parameters as compared to propofol .
