  1. Why Succs after Etomidate?

    ck8ws3 replied to ck8ws3's topic in Critical Care
    Thank you. The first portion of your comment is what I was trying to get from people. I figured the NBA was to help with ease of placement due to muscle relaxation. I 100% understand the sedate before NBA. I appreciate your input; thank you.

  2. Why Succs after Etomidate?

    ck8ws3 posted a topic in Critical Care
    I'm a critical care nurse who's worked in the inpatient setting my entire 10 years of my nursing career. I'm not transitioning to critical care nurse transport and have a few new potential duties, one of which includes supraglottic airways via I-GEL; completely new to me. I've done my research on succs and Etomidate, watched videos, etc. I guess to get right to the point, my question is this: If you're giving Etomidate, general anesthesia, essentially putting the patient to sleep, why would you need to then follow up with a NBA, I.e. Succs or other? Just to relax the muscles, making it easier for advanced airway placement? I'm so curious to learn more.
