pentobarbital and Anemia

pentobarbital has been researched along with Anemia in 7 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.

Anemia: A reduction in the number of circulating ERYTHROCYTES or in the quantity of HEMOGLOBIN.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Thus, because oxygen consumption by the brain represents approximately 20 per cent of the body's oxygen needs, and pentobarbital's primary action is as a central nervous system depressant, the induction of pentobarbital coma was instituted to reduce cerebral oxygen consumption."3.75The use of barbiturate coma as salvage therapy in a postoperative Jehovah's Witness patient with life-threatening anemia. ( Badami, CD; Deitch, EA; Wang, SW, 2009)
" Three groups of pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized cats were studied with graded reductions in arterial O2 saturation to 50%: 1) a control group with a hematocrit of 31 +/- 1% (mean +/- SE; n = 7); 2) an anemia group with a hematocrit of 21 +/- 1% that underwent an isovolumic exchange transfusion with an albumin solution (n = 8); and 3) a group transfused with an intramolecularly cross-linked hemoglobin solution to decrease hematocrit to 21 +/- 1% (n = 10)."3.70Cerebral blood flow during hypoxic hypoxia with plasma-based hemoglobin at reduced hematocrit.
