The effect of midazolam co-induction on cardiorespiratory variables, myoclonus and etomidate dose requirements in healthy cats
Etomidate, with or without midazolam co-induction, provides acceptable cardiovascular function in premedicated healthy cats. Midazolam reduces etomidate requirements for orotracheal intubation and improves induction quality in cats premedicated with intramuscular butorphanol-alfaxalone.
