pentobarbital and Long Sleeper Syndrome

pentobarbital has been researched along with Long Sleeper Syndrome in 18 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.

Trial Outcomes

Duty Cycle

(T(ins)/T(total))*100 (NCT01557920)
Timeframe: Will be measured before and during anesthesia until emergence from anesthesia, an expected average of 6 hours

Interventionpercentage of Ttotal (Mean)
Wakefulness42
Anesthesia With Low Dose Sevoflurane (Baseline CO2)42
Anesthesia With High Dose Sevoflurane (Baseline CO2)43
Anesthesia With Low Dose Propofol (CO2 Baseline)40
Anesthesia With High Dose Propofol (CO2 Baseline)41

Frequency of Spontaneous Swallows During Anesthesia vs Wakefulness

The number of swallows were counted during wakefulness and anesthesia. The frequency of swallowing was calculated per hour (NCT01557920)
Timeframe: swallows were measured during steady state conditions (mean±SEM, 2.6±0.6h)

Interventionnumber of swallows/hr (Mean)
Anesthesia With Propofol and Sevoflurane1.7
Wakefulness28

Genioglossus Muscle Electromyogram

will be measured during steady state anesthesia as well as during carbon dioxide reversal, and during recovery from anesthesia. (NCT01557920)
Timeframe: participants will be followed for the duration of anesthesia until full recovery, an expected average of 9 hours

Interventionpercentage of maximum recorded activity (Mean)
Phasic Genioglossus Activity (Light Anesthesia)32.8

Proportion of Pathological Swallows

A pathological swallow was defined as a swallow that was followed by inspiratory flow. A physiological swallow was defined as a swallow that was followed by expiratory flow. The number of pathological and physiological swallows were measured during wakefulness and anesthesia. The pathological swallows are presented as percentage of path. swallows calculated as path.sw/[path.sw+phys.sw]*100 (%). (NCT01557920)
Timeframe: swallows were measured during steady state conditions (mean±SEM, 2.6±0.6h)
