Etomidate
Etomidate is an intravenously administered sedative that is primarily used as a short-acting anesthetic. It acts by modulating the GABA_A receptor and leads to a rapid induction of loss of consciousness. Due to its cardiovascular stability, it is frequently used in emergency medicine. Side effects may include, among others, inhibition of adrenal cortex function.
