Etomidate for Injection is a medication used as a short-acting anesthesia in medical procedures or surgeries. It is administered intravenously and works by decreasing brain activity, causing sedation and loss of consciousness. This product contains 2 mg of etomidate in a single-dose vial, with a total volume of 10 mL. There are 10 vials per box, each intended for one-time use only. Etomidate for Injection is typically used in hospital or clinical settings by trained medical professionals.

Etomidate for injection, a sedative-hypnotic agent, produces a rapid onset of anesthesia, and a short duration of action. It is a racemic mixture of S-(+)-etomidate and R-(-)-etomidate enantiomers. Etomidate for injection is indicated for the induction of general anesthesia. The etomidate enantiomers have different pharmacologic properties. Etomidate for injection is a synthetic imidazole derivative that acts as a non-competitive GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) receptor agonist. When etomidate binds to the GABA receptor, it causes an influx of chloride ions into the nerve cell, leading to an inhibitory effect on the nerve. This results in a reduction in the activity of the central nervous system and a decrease in the responsiveness of the heart to stimulation. Etomidate for injection produces an anesthetic state that is characterized by a rapid onset and short duration of action.

Etomidate is a sedative and hypnotic agent that is used for the induction of general anaesthesia. It is a short-acting agent that works by depressing the central nervous system. Etomidate binds to the GABA receptor and activates the chloride ion channel, which results in an influx of chloride ions into the neuron. This causes the neuron to become hyperpolarized and inhibits the release of neurotransmitters.

FAQs about Etomidate Injections
  • How to Give Etomidate Injection?

    Etomidate injection is primarily used for induction of general anesthesia, especially in patients with hemodynamic instability (such as trauma or cardiac conditions). It is also a preferred agent for rapid sequence intubation (RSI) and short surgical procedures when quick sedation and recovery are needed.

  • Is etomidate safe in pregnancy?

    Etomidate is classified as FDA Pregnancy Category C. It should be used during pregnancy ONLY if the potential benefit justifies the potential fetal risk.

  • What is another name for etomidate?

    Common brand name: Amidate.

  • Is etomidate considered deep sedation?

    Etomidate induces deep sedation and general anesthesia suitable for procedures requiring total unconsciousness.

  • How does etomidate make you feel?

    Patients typically experience rapid loss of consciousness (within 1 minute), with minimal cardiovascular depression.

  • What are the rare side effects of etomidate?

    Adrenal suppression/hypocortisolism Myoclonus (muscle twitching) Nausea, vomiting Injection site pain Rare allergic reactions Seizures, arrhythmias (very rare)

  • When should etomidate be avoided?

    Known hypersensitivity Children under 10 years (some protocols) Patients with adrenal insufficiency Prolonged use in critically ill due to potential adrenal suppression

  • How long does etomidate last? Onset:

    30-60 seconds Duration: 3-5 minutes

  • What class of drug is etomidate injection?

    Etomidate is a non-barbiturate hypnotic agent and CNS depressant (general anesthetic class).

  • How does etomidate affect the heart?

    Minimal effect on heart rate and blood pressure – hemodynamically stable compared to other anesthetics.

  • What are the 5 Levels of Sedation?

    Minimal sedation (anxiolysis) Moderate sedation (conscious) Deep sedation General anesthesia Dissociative sedation (e.g., ketamine-induced) Etomidate usually produces deep sedation to general anesthesia.

  • Why Choose Etomidate Injection?

    Rapid Onset and Short Action Hemodynamic Stability – ideal for cardiac-compromised patients Widely Used in Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) Low Risk of Respiratory Depression Minimal Histamine Release compared to other agents
