Propofol
Propofol is less popular for induction than Etomidate because it can cause profound hypotension.
However, it does have several benefits to consider. For example, it depresses cerebral metabolism and oxygen consumption, making it neuroprotective in patients with neurologic conditions (such as TBI, intracranial hemorrhage, or epilepsy). It may also be a good choice for induction in patients with hypertensive emergencies. Lastly, Propofol can be given as an infusion for continuous sedation.
