Usage

General Description

2-(diethylamino)ethyl ethylcarbamate, also known as etomidate, is a medication used for the induction of general anesthesia. It works by modulating the function of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain, resulting in a sedative and hypnotic effect. Etomidate is often preferred for its rapid onset and short duration of action, making it useful for surgical procedures that require quick anesthesia induction and recovery. Due to its minimal respiratory depression and cardiovascular stability, etomidate is also considered suitable for patients with compromised cardiac or respiratory function. However, potential side effects of etomidate include nausea, vomiting, and adrenal suppression, which may limit its use in some clinical settings.
