Efficacy and safety of etomidate-based sedation compared with propofol-based sedation during ERCP in low-risk patients: a double-blind, randomized, non-inferiority trial

Etomidate is a short-acting intravenous hypnotic with a safety profile that is superior to alternative drugs such as propofol. However, there is a lack of evidence on the safety of etomidate in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The objective of this study was to compare efficacy and safety profiles of etomidate and propofol for endoscopic sedation.
