Etomidate is an induction agent known for its smooth intubating conditions and cardiovascular stability. Studies, however, have shown that a single dose of etomidate can result in a prolonged adrenal insufficiency. The impact of this in patients with sepsis has been a matter for debate. This review presents a pro/con case for using etomidate in hemodynamically unstable critically ill patients and provides guidance for alternative induction techniques and when the use of etomidate might be justified despite these concerns.
依托咪酯是一种诱导剂,以其能产生平稳的插管条件和心血管稳定性而闻名。然而,研究表明,单次使用依托咪酯会导致肾上腺功能不全持续时间延长。其对脓毒症患者的影响一直是个有争议的问题。本综述针对血流动力学不稳定的危重症患者使用依托咪酯的利弊进行了分析,并就替代诱导技术以及尽管存在这些担忧但在何种情况下使用依托咪酯可能合理提供了指导。
