[Comparison of the pharmacokinetics of etomidate in children and in adults].

Etomidate pharmacokinetics were compared in 12 children (P group) (age 7 to 13 years, weight 22 to 48 kg) and in 4 adult women (A group) (age 28 to 52 years, weight 46 to 72 kg), A.S.A.

Analgesia for appendectomy: comparison of fentanyl and alfentanil in children.

[Hemodynamic effects of etomidate in the child: a study of the dose-effect relation].

In order to determine haemodynamic effects of increasing etomidate dosage, 18 healthy anaesthetized children aged 3 to 8 years were randomly given etomidate as a bolus: 0.125 mg/kg (group I; n = 6), 0.25 mg/kg (group II; n = 6) or 0.
