Summary
The aim of this study was to try to reduce the required dose of etomidate used in anesthesia
for upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in critically ill cardiac patients who complain of severe
anemia in cardiac intensive care units by using a low dose of ketamine, which helps to reduce
the side effects of etomidate, the most important of which is its suppressive effect on the
adrenal gland and the secretion of cortisol in such critical cases, while maintaining
hemodynamic stability, and the patient's satisfaction.
