Article Synopsis
- Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation can increase sympathetic responses, potentially harmful in patients with heart issues; this study compares etomidate to a midazolam-sodium thiopental combination for their effects on these responses.
- Conducted as a double-blind, randomized trial with 39 patients in each group, results indicated no significant differences in demographic factors, but the etomidate group had a shorter laryngoscopy time.
- While mean diastolic and arterial pressures were lower in the midazolam-thiopental group at 10 minutes post-intubation, overall, both medications similarly managed cardiovascular responses with no significant adverse reactions noted.
