Observational StudyEffect of etomidate on systemic and regional cerebral perfusion in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease: A prospective observational study.
Neonates and infants with congenital heart disease undergoing general anesthesia have an increased risk for critical cardiovascular events. Etomidate produces very minimal changes in hemodynamic parameters in older children with congenital heart disease. There is a lack of studies evaluating the effect of etomidate on systemic and regional cerebral perfusion in neonates and infants with congenital heart disease. ⋯ Etomidate 0.4mg kg-1 does not impair systemic or regional cerebral perfusion in neonates or infants with congenital heart disease.
