phenobarbital and Brain Injuries

phenobarbital has been researched along with Brain Injuries in 43 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.

Brain Injuries: Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Seizures are common in infants with HIE undergoing TH and may worsen outcome."5.48The effects of adding prophylactic phenobarbital to therapeutic hypothermia in the term-equivalent hypoxic-ischemic rat. ( Aronowitz, E; Hutton, A; Krishna, S; Moore, H; Vannucci, SJ, 2018)
" The present study investigated the postmortem brain mRNA and immunohistochemical expressions of matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), claudin5 (CLDN5), and aquaporins (AQPs) in forensic autopsy cases of carbon monoxide (n = 14), METH (n = 21), and phenobarbital (n = 17) intoxication, compared with mechanical asphyxia (n = 15), brain injury (n = 11), non-brain injury (n = 21), and sharp instrument injury (n = 15) cases."3.80Molecular pathology of brain matrix metalloproteases, claudin5, and aquaporins in forensic autopsy cases with special regard to methamphetamine intoxication. ( Guan, DW; Ishikawa, T; Maeda, H; Michiue, T; Wang, Q; Zhu, BL, 2014)
"Minimal requirements: seizure-prevention outcome given as fraction of cases; AED or control assigned by random or quasi-random mechanism."2.41Antiepileptogenesis and seizure prevention trials with antiepileptic drugs: meta-analysis of controlled trials. ( Temkin, NR, 2001)
" In order to use these effectively, the critical care nurse must be aware of the indications and controversies surrounding their use, the patho-physiologic conditions that impact on the disposition, and appropriate dosing and monitoring of these agents in the critical care setting."2.38Anticonvulsants: pharmacotherapeutic issues in the critically ill patient. ( Dupuis, RE; Miranda-Massari, J, 1991)
"It is the recommended drug for the treatment of seizures in term neonates."2.37[Phenobarbital in newborn infants. Overview]. ( Staudt, F, 1984)
" Based on the available data it seems that one may postulate the following conclusions: (1) that the distribution factors as well as changes in drug elimination capacities seem to play a role, perhaps with differing relative importance, during each of the maturational periods; (2) that the physicochemical properties of a drug and its dosage, as well as changes in the volume of distribution in children, in the course of certain disease states may have a significant effect on kinetics of drug disposition in the body; (3) that systemic clearance, a model independent parameter, rather than elimination half-life, a hybrid pharmacokinetic parameter, more accurately reflects elimination of some drugs from the body; (4) that each drug and every clinical situation may require the evaluation of the direct effect on pharmacokinetic processes, since general principles may not always apply; (5) that drug disposition studies should also be performed, if possible, on patients under actual clinical situations and receiving the usual therapeutic regime, and (6) that the half-life of colistin is independent of postnatal age which should serve as a warning not to generalize about drug excretion in the young infant."2.37Clinical pharmacokinetics of changes in drug elimination in children. ( Prandota, J, 1985)
"Survivors of neonatal seizures are at risk for developmental delay, epilepsy, and further neurological comorbidities."1.51Neurodevelopmental outcomes at 9-14 months gestational age after treatment of neonatal seizures due to brain injury. ( Brady, J; Cabassa Miskimen, AC; Ghosh, S; Kang, PB; Robinson, MA; Weiss, M; Zou, B, 2019)
"Seizures are common in infants with HIE undergoing TH and may worsen outcome."1.48The effects of adding prophylactic phenobarbital to therapeutic hypothermia in the term-equivalent hypoxic-ischemic rat. ( Aronowitz, E; Hutton, A; Krishna, S; Moore, H; Vannucci, SJ, 2018)
"Seventeen had Glasgow Coma Scales of 3 to 4 and 23 scales of 5 to 7."1.27Early prediction of outcome after severe head injury in children. ( Pfenninger, J, 1984)
