  • Summary

  • Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD

    Educational Pearls:

    • Induction agent selection during rapid sequence intubation involves accounting for hemodynamic stability in the post-intubation setting

    • Many emergency departments use ketamine or etomidate

    • A recent study sought to explore the rates of post-induction hypotension of ketamine compared with propofol

      • Single center retrospective cohort study of patients between 2018-2021

    • Ketamine and propofol were both significantly associated with post-induction hypotension

      • Ketamine adjusted odds ratio = 4.50

      • Propofol adjusted odds ratio = 4.88

      • 50% of patients became hypotensive after induction with either propofol or ketamine

    • These findings suggest post-induction hypotension is mainly due to sympatholysis rather than the choice of agent itself
