Etomidate is a general anesthetic; potentiates GABAA transmission
Etomidate is a general anesthetic; potentiates GABAA transmission. The possible neuroprotective effect of etomidate against streptozotocin-induced (STZ-induced) hyperglycaemia were investigated in the rat brain and spinal cord. Etomidate treatment demonstrated neuroprotective effect on the neuronal tissue against the diabetic oxidative damage

Etomidate is a potent imidazole hypnotic used widely in single doses in the rapid sequence intubation of critically ill patients with sepsis due to its presumed hemodynamic safety, fast onset, and short duration of action. However, the literature is conflicting

Although etomidate is a preferred anesthetic agent for rapid sequence intubation (RSI) in critical illness, as an inhibitor of cortisol synthesis (11β-hydroxylase), it may be associated with adrenal dysfunction. The objectives are to review the effects of etomidate versus comparator

This review addresses the practical usage of intravenous etomidate as a medical therapy in Cushing's syndrome. We reviewed the relevant literature, using search terms 'etomidate', 'Cushing's syndrome', 'adrenocortical hyperfunction', 'drug therapy' and 'hypercortisolaemia' in a series of public databases. There
