Abstract

Etomidate is a rapidly acting, intravenous anesthetic agent. Because of its limited effects on cardiovascular function, it has generally been used for the induction of anesthesia in adult patients with compromised cardiorespiratory function. There is limited information concerning its use in children. The author presents three cases and reviews the possible applications of etomidate in the pediatric population.
