Etomidate is an anaesthetic induction agent which may be favoured in critically ill patients because of its cardiovascular stability. However, etomidate causes adrenocortical suppression which may be particularly harmful in these patients. This article reviews current evidence and debates the use of etomidate in critical illness.
