Effect of etomidate use on ICU patients with ventilator therapy: a study of 12,526 patients in an open database from a single-center.

Conclusions: Etomidate is not a wise choice as the hypnotic drug on the day of starting mechanical ventilation, as it is associated with the increased all-cause mortality in a dose-dependent manner, while not improving the first 48-hr survival. PMID: 33233029 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
