Etomidate anesthesia during ERCP caused more stable haemodynamic responses compared with propofol: A randomized clinical trial

Propofol may result in hypotension and respiratory depression, while etomidate is considered to be a safe induction agent for haemodynamically unstable patients because of its low risk of hypotension. We hypothesized that etomidate anesthesia during ERCP caused more stable haemodynamic responses compared with propofol.
