Abstract
We report 3 cases of myoclonus associated with etomidate during ED procedural sedation and analgesia (PSA). EPs should be familiar with myoclonus associated with etomidate. Clinicians using this drug for PSA should be prepared to offer the brief period of support, and occasionally, respiratory assistance, required when etomidate-associated myoclonus is encountered.Entities:
