In Florida lethal injections, there are 3 primary drugs used in the cocktail, administered in stages at various doses. The Etomidate injection is used 1st, to ensure the inmate is unconscious. A round of Rocuronium Bromide is then used to relax the muscles, essentially to paralyse the inmate, and the 3rd and final and fatal drug is the Potassium Acetate. This is the drug that stops the heart."
