title: Hypnosis with etomidate during total intravenous anaesthesia.
abstract: Etomidate (Hypnomidate; Ethnor) in an alcoholic solution was used as the hypnotic component of a technique of total intravenous anaesthesia in an open pilot evaluation in 50 patients undergoing surgery. No anaesthetic gases were used. Despite cardiovascular stability, lack of respiratory depression and a short awakening time, unwanted movements by the patients made total intravenous anaesthesia with this technique unsatisfactory.
