Effect of etomidate on the cardiovascular system

J M Gooding et al. Anesth Analg. 1977 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

Following intravenous injection of 0.3 mg/kg of etomidate, the only noteworthy change in measured cardiovascular parameters was a 10 percent increase in heart rate. This suggests relatively stable cardiovascular response associated with administration of this new nonbarbiturate anesthesia induction agent.
