pentobarbital and Airway Obstruction

pentobarbital has been researched along with Airway Obstruction in 11 studies

Pentobarbital: A short-acting barbiturate that is effective as a sedative and hypnotic (but not as an anti-anxiety) agent and is usually given orally. It is prescribed more frequently for sleep induction than for sedation but, like similar agents, may lose its effectiveness by the second week of continued administration. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p236)
pentobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and sec-pentyl groups.

Airway Obstruction: Any hindrance to the passage of air into and out of the lungs.

" We report an anesthesia protocol, using the injectable anesthetic agents sodium pentobarbital (SP) and xylazine (XYL) for the GP that induces consistent anesthesia while eliminating use of paralytic agents."3.71Anesthesia protocol for hyperpnea-induced airway obstruction in the guinea pig. ( Mickleborough, TD; Owiny, J; Rhodes, J; Tucker, A, 2001)
"The effects or airway occlusion at the end of inspiration on timing parameters and the "integrated" phrenic activity were studied in 1- to 21-day-old kittens at two levels of pentobarbital anesthesia before and after bilateral vagotomy."3.66Effects of airway occlusion at functional residual capacity in pentobarbital-anesthetized kittens. ( Mozes, R; Trippenbach, T; Zinman, R, 1981)
"No clinical signs of upper airway obstruction were noted and oxygen desaturation did not occur."2.68Assessment of the effect of head and neck position on upper airway anatomy in sedated paediatric patients using magnetic resonance imaging. ( Armstrong, DC; Brown, L; Roy, WI; Shorten, GD, 1995)
