pentobarbital and Brain Disorders

pentobarbital has been researched along with Brain Disorders in 15 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.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Seizures were detected in 19% (n = 110) of patients who underwent cEEG monitoring; the seizures were exclusively nonconvulsive in 92% (n = 101) of these patients."2.42Detection of electrographic seizures with continuous EEG monitoring in critically ill patients. ( Claassen, J; Emerson, RG; Hirsch, LJ; Kowalski, RG; Mayer, SA, 2004)
"Although the underlying cause of Reye syndrome is not understood, an effective approach to treatment is based on reversing the known metabolic and pathological abnormalities."2.36Treatment of Reye syndrome. ( Trauner, DA, 1980)
"Pentobarbital treatment reduced 2-DG accumulation in all brain areas examined and these reductions were not influenced by the nBM lesions."1.27Deoxyglucose uptake and choline acetyltransferase activity in cerebral cortex following lesions of the nucleus basalis magnocellularis. ( Fibiger, HC; Lamarca, MV, 1984)
" Three of the seven patients were given a dosage of medication and exceeding the manufacture's recommendation."1.26Toxic encephalopathy related to antihistamine-barbiturate antiemetic medication. ( Patterson, JH; Schwartz, JF, 1978)
