Comparison of priming versus slow injection for reducing etomidate-induced myoclonus: a randomized controlled study

Parul Mullick, Vandana Talwar, Shipra Aggarwal, Smita Prakash, Mridula Pawar

Korean J Anesthesiol. 2018;71(4):305-310.

Background: Etomidate injection is often associated with myoclonus. Etomidate injection technique influences the incidence of myoclonus. This study was designed to clarify which of the two injection techniques—slow injection or priming with etomidate—is more effective in reducing myoclonus. Methods: This prospective randomized controlled study was conducted on 189 surgical patients allocated...
