case_images: The presence of hemolysis was macroscopically noticed in the blood collected from a 22G arterial catheter inserted into the coccygeal artery (Figure 1). All collected plasma samples were hemolytic (Figure 1).

case_images: Pulse rate variations recorded by the pulse oximeter in case 2. Increase in pulse rate following etomidate induction. Time span (indicated with arrows): 2:13:16-2:14:04. bpm: beats per minute.

case_images: IV, followed by 2 mg/kg etomidate in propylene glycol, injected as an IV bolus over 60 s. Immediately following its administration, PR suddenly increased to 175 bpm (values reported in Figure 2) and apnea occurred.
case_images: Oxygen saturation (SpO2) variations recorded by the pulse oximeter in case 2. Decrease in oxygen saturation after etomidate induction. Reporting as time span the one indicated by the arrows: 2:13:16-2:14:04.

case_images: A decrease in oxygen saturation from 99 to 82% was observed (Figure 3).
case_images: Microphotograph of the lung of case 2. Severe alveolar, interstitial edema, and hyperemia are present. Edema is visible as the extracellular pink substance in alveolar spaces (*), expanding the lung interstitium (+). Hyperemia is characterized by distended and engorged blood vessels (#). Hematoxylin and eosin stain.
