Why the study?
Does ketamine, midazolam, or a midazolam-ketamine combination improve hemodynamic stability and postoperative outcomes compared to thiopental during rapid sequence induction in emergency surgery?
Does ketamine, midazolam, or a midazolam-ketamine combination improve hemodynamic stability and postoperative outcomes compared to thiopental during rapid sequence induction in emergency surgery?
Midazolam and a midazolam-ketamine combination offer safe and effective induction for emergency surgery with better hemodynamic stability than thiopental and fewer emergence reactions than ketamine alone.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports midazolam or midazolam-ketamine for MAP stability in emergency RSI; extends RCT options beyond thiopental or ketamine alone.
