Methods:This study was conducted among 60 patients in the age group of 18 – 75 yrs undergoing various elective laminectomy and orthopeadic procedures. They were divided into 2 groups of 30 each. General anaesthesia was induced in Group E with Inj.etomidate 0.3mg/kg and in Group T with Inj. Thiopentone 5mg/kg. Inducing agent has been given over a period of 60 seconds in all the patients. Inj. Vecuronium bromide (0.1mg /kg. body wt.), was injected after loss of eye lash reflex in both groups. Nitrous oxide and oxygen was used for mask ventilation in both study groups. Subsequently, heart rate, SBP, DBP, MAP and ECG changes were recorded at one, two and three minutes after induction . Results : It has been observed that there is no clinically significant difference between in hemodynamic parameters (HR, SBP, DBP and MAP) following induction with etomidate and thiopentone.
