Hi,
Great podcast as always. In the U.K. The use of etomidate has dramatically reduced as a result of concerns regarding steroid axis suppression. What are your thoughts on this?

Jo – bottom line is that no study has demonstrated a harm in a patient centered outcome. I think there are some blogs reviewing this that I’ll try to locate. In the absence of a patient centered downside, I’ll keep using it.
In terms of PSA specifically, I’m not worried about this lab abnormality at all.
Thanks
