Etomidate for Other
Adult weight-based dosing has a median of 0.3 mg/kg across 47 published protocols, with the middle half between 0.3 and 0.3.
Includes 1 agency outside the US.
Doses far off from what other protocols give are likely misreads, so they are left out until checked. How that works.

| 0.1 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.3 | 0.5 |
Values in mg/kg. One value per source (that source's median), so a document listing a medication five times still gets one vote.
