Key result
Propofol-ketamine and etomidate-midazolam provided similar and acceptable hemodynamic stability during anesthesia induction in patients with left ventricular dysfunction undergoing CABG, with only minor differences in cardiac index and systemic vascular resistance.
Why the study?
Does a propofol-ketamine induction regimen improve hemodynamic stability compared to an etomidate-midazolam regimen in patients with left ventricular dysfunction undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery?

Does a propofol-ketamine induction regimen improve hemodynamic stability compared to an etomidate-midazolam regimen in patients with left ventricular dysfunction undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
Both propofol-ketamine and etomidate-midazolam combinations provide stable hemodynamics and are safe for anesthesia induction in patients with left ventricular dysfunction undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
Aghdaii et al. (2015) conducted an RCT in Coronary artery disease with left ventricular dysfunction (n=100). Propofol-ketamine vs. Etomidate-midazolam (0.2 mg/kg etomidate and 0.06 mg/kg midazolam) was evaluated on Hemodynamic responses (HR, SBP, DBP, MAP, CI, SVR) during anesthesia induction and intubation. Propofol-ketamine and etomidate-midazolam provided similar and acceptable hemodynamic stability during anesthesia induction in patients with left ventricular dysfunction undergoing CABG, with only minor differences in cardiac index and systemic vascular resistance.
