[Induction of neuroleptic anesthesia with etomidate].

Changes in the circulation parameters measured during modified neuroleptanalgesia were assessed for 75 cases. No significant deviation from the initial values were observed in the systolic blood pressure and pulse rate in the introductory phase of anesthesia introduced with Etomidate after Droperidol + diazepam premedication and maintained with Fentanyl, relaxation and the inhalation of nitrous oxide. Because of this marked stability of the circulation, the method is considered particularly advantageous for the analgesia of high-risk-patients.
