A Comparison of Etomidate and Ketamine for Anesthesia Induction in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to determine whether ketamine is an acceptable alternative to etomidate for anesthesia induction in coronary artery bypass graft surgery in terms of hemodynamic stability and also to compare these agents regarding their effect on adrenal gland steroid synthesis in these patients.

Intervention / Treatment

  • Ketamine (DRUG)
    During standard anesthesia induction with fentanyl and midazolam, ketamine 2 mg/kg IV will be administered
  • Etomidate (DRUG)
    During standard anesthesia induction with fentanyl and midazolam, etomidate 3 mg/kg IV will be administered

Condition or Disease

  • Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
