What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
severity of myoclonus induced by
Time Frame: 90 seconds from the beginning of etomidate injection
myoclonic movements are graded as 0=no myoclonus, 1=mild myoclonus (short movement of a body segment e.g., a finger or a wrist), 2=moderate myoclonus (mild movement of two different muscle groups e.g., face and arm), or 3=severe myoclonus (intense myoclonic movement in two or more muscle groups, fast adduction of a limb)
90 seconds from the beginning of etomidate injection
intensity of injection pain
Time Frame: during the injection of etomidate, expected to be within 1 minutes

The intensity of pain was graded using a verbal rating scale. 0-None (negative response to questioning)

  1. Mild pain (pain reported only in response to questioning without any behavioral signs)
  2. Moderate pain (pain reported in response to questioning and accompanied by a behavioral sign or pain reported spontaneously without questioning)
  3. Severe pain (strong vocal response or response accompanied by facial grimacing, arm withdrawl or tears)
during the injection of etomidate, expected to be within 1 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
hemodynamic parameters after injection of etomidate
Time Frame: baseline to 2 minutes after injetion of etomidate
Heart rate and mean arterial pressure will be recorded before induction, before the injection of etomidate, 1 minute and 2 minutes after injection of etomidate
baseline to 2 minutes after injetion of etomidate
