Background There is limited evidence regarding factors associated with mortality in septic
patients receiving etomidate. This study aimed to determine independent pre-intubation …

Purpose To characterize risk factors for mortality in septic patients who received etomidate
for rapid sequence intubation. Materials and Methods This study was a retrospective cohort …

BACKGROUND The effect of single-dose etomidate on mortality in patients with sepsis
remains controversial. We systematically reviewed the literature to investigate whether a …

Patients with sepsis often require emergency intubation. In emergency departments (EDs),
rapid-sequence intubation with a single-dose induction agent is standard practice, but the …

Objective: Retrospective analyses of several trials suggest etomidate may be unsafe for
intubation in patients with sepsis. We evaluated the association of etomidate and mortality in …

Despite its widespread use in North America and many other parts of the world, the safety of
etomidate as an induction agent for rapid sequence intubation in septic patients is still …

Background Because of its many desirable properties, etomidate is widely used as an
induction agent for endotracheal intubation. However, some have recently called into …

Objective The objectives of this study were 1) to describe the current use of etomidate and
other induction agents in patients with sepsis and 2) to compare adverse events between …

Clinical controversies: etomidate as an induction agent for endotracheal intubation in patients
with sepsis: continue to use etomidate for intubation of patients with septic shock. - Abstract …

Background The use of single-dose etomidate to facilitate intubation in critically ill patients
has recently been debated given its suppression of steroidogenesis with possible resultant …
