A comparative study to evaluate the efficacy between propofol and etomidate as induction agent in geriatric cardiovascular disease patients posted for non cardiovascular surgeries.

Abstract

In General Anaesthesia changes in Hemodynamic parameters during induction is more common. In elderly patient with cardiovascular diseases profound changes in hemodynamic parameters2. To alleviate the profound changes in hemodynamic parameters we use either Propofol or Thiopentone Sodium regularly as induction agent. But recently we use Etomidate as choice of induction agent in cardiovascular patients.
