Evaluation of Etomidate on Adrenal Function in Trauma Patients
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Adrenal Insufficiency
In brief
Trauma patients are at increased risk for adrenal function insufficiency. A commonly used agent for rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is known to decrease adrenal function. We want to determine the incidence of adrenocortical insufficiency and its significance during the first 24 hours of resuscitation following RSI in trauma patients.
