ABSTRACT
Etomidate is a drug commonly used for Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) and Procedural Sedation Anesthesia (PSA) in the Emergency Department because of its rapid onset of action and low cardiovascular risk profile. The antiarrhythmic effects of etomidate are presented in a patient with unstable wide complex tachycardia, which converted to sinus rhythm immediately after its administration. This is the first case in the Emergency Medicine literature and the second case reported of possible antiarrhythmic effects of etomidate since its development.
