pentobarbital and Torsade de Pointes

pentobarbital has been researched along with Torsade de Pointes in 5 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.

" In order to study the effects of anesthetic agents on the inducibility of TdP, arrhythmias were induced by programmed electrical stimulation (PES) before and after cumulative intravenous administration of quinidine under anesthesia with sodium pentobarbital, halothane, or isoflurane."7.71Acute canine model for drug-induced Torsades de Pointes in drug safety evaluation-influences of anesthesia and validation with quinidine and astemizole. ( Imai, R; Tamura, T; Yamamoto, K; Yamamoto, M, 2001)
"Sodium pentobarbital is widely used for anesthesia in experimental studies as well as in clinics, and it is known to prevent the development of torsades de pointes (TdP) in in vivo models of the long QT syndrome (LQTS)."7.70Sodium pentobarbital reduces transmural dispersion of repolarization and prevents torsades de Pointes in models of acquired and congenital long QT syndrome.
