Many thanks to ER MD for restructuring the backbone article, which is excellent. Three points of contention. First, etomidate is not an analgesic. Secondly, etomidate is not the only imidazole with anaesthetic or sedative properties (midazolam also contains an imidazole ring, as suggested by its name). Thirdly, etomidate is not appreciably more expensive (as a fraction of the total cost of an anaesthetic) than propofol or thiopental. Methohexitone is no longer available in the UK or New Zealand.

[edit] contraindication
The etomidate is contrindicated when there is a diagnosis of porphyria like methohexitone and thiopentone Ref: Anesthetic pharmacology Evers-Maze 2005
