Etomidat in der Notfallmedizin – Pro und Contra

Kaum ein Medikament in der prähospitalen Notfallmedizin ist so umstritten und dennoch so weit verbreitet wie das Hypnotikum Etomidat. Regelmäßig kommt es zu „heißen“ Diskussionen und Kollegen zitieren Studien, die eindeutige Ergebnisse zeigen würden. Leider ist in der Medizin und insbesondere in der Notfallmedizin selten die Datenlage klar und erlaubt nur eine Interpretation. Im folgenden Artikel sollen daher Argumente für und gegen den Einsatz von Etomidat in der Notfallmedizin im Sinne einer Pround Contra-Debatte dargestellt und diskutiert werden. So kann sich jeder Leser sein eigenes Bild über die aktuelle Studienlage zu diesem Medikament machen und für die eigene Praxis entsprechende Konsequenzen ziehen.
