Keywords
hemodynamic stability, etomidate, ketamine, coronary artery bypass surgery after induction of anesthesia, hemodynamic stability
Brief summary
The aim of this study is to determine whether ketamine is an acceptable alternative to etomidate for anesthesia induction in coronary artery bypass graft surgery in terms of hemodynamic stability and also to compare these agents regarding their effect on adrenal gland steroid synthesis in these patients.
Interventions
During standard anesthesia induction with fentanyl and midazolam, ketamine 2 mg/kg IV will be administered
During standard anesthesia induction with fentanyl and midazolam, etomidate 3 mg/kg IV will be administered
