phenobarbital and Apnea

phenobarbital has been researched along with Apnea in 21 studies

Phenobarbital: A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.
phenobarbital : A member of the class of barbiturates, the structure of which is that of barbituric acid substituted at C-5 by ethyl and phenyl groups.

Apnea: A transient absence of spontaneous respiration.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"An 11-month-old boy with multiple surface anomalies and respiratory distress due to upper airway narrowing developed generalized tonic seizures coinciding with apnea."7.73[High-dose phenobarbital therapy is effective for the control of intractable tonic seizure with apnea in a case of multiple anomalies syndrome]. ( Hayashi, T; Horio, K; Kubota, M; Mimaki, M; Tomita, S, 2006)
"To determine the effect of phenobarbital sodium therapy and subependymal intraventricular hemorrhage (SEp-IVH) on the theophylline requirement of premature infants suffering with apnea and seizure activity, we compared three groups of patients as follows: group 1, those with apnea of prematurity (ten patients); group 2, those with apnea and SEp-IVH (ten patients); and group 3, those with apnea, SEp-IVH, and seizure activity for which they were receiving phenobarbital therapy (nine patients)."7.67Phenobarbital increases the theophylline requirement of premature infants being treated for apnea. ( Gottschalk, SK; Kissling, GE; Schuth, CR; Tran, TH; Yazdani, M, 1987)
"Polygraphic recordings were performed in seven preterm infants who had been given phenobarbital (phenobarbitone) to evaluate its effect on neonatal sleep behavior and on the incidence of neurogenic apnea and/or bradycardia."7.65Rapid eye movement sleep, apnea, and cardiac slowing influenced by phenobarbital administration in the neonate. ( Albani, M; Gabriel, M, 1977)

( Hayashi, T; Horio, K; Kubota, M; Mimaki, M; Tomita, S, 2006)
" He manifested apnea during the first 12 hours of life."3.72Temporal lobe hemorrhage in the full-term neonate presenting as apneic seizures. ( Goodkin, HP; Tramonte, JJ, 2004)
"Thirteen treatment failures and ten instances of apnea occurred among the 28 patients treated with benzodiazepine/phenobarbital."3.68Management of hyponatremic seizures in children with hypertonic saline: a safe and effective strategy. ( Fleischmann, L; Hackbarth, R; Meert, K; Sarnaik, AP, 1991)
" Clinical diagnosis was determined neurologically and included (1) coma, (2) apnea, manifested by inability to sustain respiration, and (3) absent brainstem reflexes."3.67Brain death in the newborn. ( Ashwal, S; Schneider, S, 1989)
"To determine the effect of phenobarbital sodium therapy and subependymal intraventricular hemorrhage (SEp-IVH) on the theophylline requirement of premature infants suffering with apnea and seizure activity, we compared three groups of patients as follows: group 1, those with apnea of prematurity (ten patients); group 2, those with apnea and SEp-IVH (ten patients); and group 3, those with apnea, SEp-IVH, and seizure activity for which they were receiving phenobarbital therapy (nine patients)."3.67Phenobarbital increases the theophylline requirement of premature infants being treated for apnea.

( Albani, M; Gabriel, M, 1977)
" Qualitative and quantitative differences in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drugs should be considered before dosage regimens can be established."1.27[Peculiarities of drug therapy in childhood]. ( Kusenbach, G; Reinhardt, D, 1986)
"EEG seizures were recorded in seven patients, five of whom had experienced clinical seizures in the 24 hours prior to cassette EEG recording."1.27Cassette electroencephalography in the evaluation of neonatal seizures. ( Bridgers, SL; Ebersole, JS; Ehrenkranz, RA; Ment, LR; Silva, CG, 1986)
" At the moment, xanthines are the drugs of choice, since they are both effective and safe, provided dosage is adjusted to each patient."1.26[Drug treatment of apnoea in premature infants (author's transl)]. ( Klethi, J; Mack, G; Messer, J; Willard, D, 1981)
