Etomidate for induction of anaesthesia at caesarean section: comparison with thiopentone.

abstract：:In our daily anaesthetic practice, we are confronted with an increasing number of patients treated with either antiplatelet or anticoagulant agents. During the last decade, changes have occurred that make the handling of antithrombotic medication a challenging part of anaesthetic perioperative management. In this revi...
