Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Etomidate
After taking of the blood samples, patients in Group I will be intubated with 0.3 mg/kg etomidate iv. Blood samples will be repeated in the 4th and 24th hour of the intubation.systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures, heart rates will be recorded with 15 minutes intervals in the first hour and after that hourly during surgery.Cortisol Levels in the 0,4th and 24th hour will be compared from the blood samples acquired.
Drug: Etomidate
Other Names:
  • etomidate lipuro, BRAUN
Active Comparator: etomidate, steroid
After taking of the blood samples, patients in Group II will be intubated with 0.3 mg/kg etomidate iv following a 2mg/kg methylprednisolone iv Blood samples will be repeated in the 4th and 24th hour of the intubation.systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures, heart rates will be recorded with 15 minutes intervals in the first hour and after that hourly during surgery.Cortisol Levels in the 0,4th and 24th hour will be compared from the blood samples acquired.
Drug: methylprednisolone
Other Names:
  • Prednol-L, Mustafa Nevzat
Drug: Etomidate
Other Names:
  • etomidate lipuro, BRAUN
Active Comparator: midazolam

After taking of the blood samples, patients in Group III will be intubated with 0.01 mg/kg midazolam iv. Blood samples will be repeated in the 4th and 24th hour of the intubation.systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressures, heart rates will be recorded with 15 minutes intervals in the first hour and after that hourly during surgery.

Cortisol Levels in the 0,4th and 24th hour will be compared from the blood samples acquired.
Drug: Midazolam
Other Names:
  • Dormicum,Roche
