RE: Etomidate

["Watkins, Mike" <jmwatkins@co.hanover.va.us>]

We use Etomidate in the sedation phase of our RSI protocol at .3mg/kg, and
it works very well. We use succinylcholine as the paralytic. Like others,
once the procedure is completed, we follow up with Versed and Vecuronium.  I
have not had a problem with hypotension yet.  We haev also used it to RSI
some pediatrics.
