title: [Propofol and etomidate: a comparative study in emergency anesthesia in ASA I and II patients].
abstract: The use of propofol and etomidate in emergency anaesthesia is studied in 39 patients ASA I and 11 patients ASA II. After premedication, the narcosis is induced and maintained either by iterative injections or by continued infusion. Concerning haemodynamic changes, the diastolic blood pressure decreases in propofol group without any deleterious effect for these patients. Recovering time is the same in the two groups. The time for recovering memorization is significantly shorter in the propofol group. The use of these two drugs is fully justified in an emergency situation with preference for propofol in case of preoperative haemodynamic stability.
