The slow death of lethal injection.

BMJ 348 , g2670, (2014)

Ascorbic acid reverses the prolonged anesthetic action of pentobarbital in Akr1a-knockout mice.

Life Sci. 95(1) , 1-8, (2014)

Aldehyde reductase (AKR1A), a member of the aldo-keto reductase superfamily, is highly expressed in the liver and is involved in both the detoxification of carbonyl compounds and ascorbic acid biosynthesis. By comparison with wild-type mice, Akr1a-knockout (A...

Optimized administration regimen of lopinavir for a myocardial ischaemia reperfusion study in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Lab. Anim. 47(2) , 122-6, (2013)

Pharmacokinetics of drugs may differ between small and large mammals (including humans); therefore, drug testing in animal models must be carefully designed. Sprague-Dawley rats were used in cardiac experiments, during which the lopinavir concentration in ser...

Hemodiafiltration in pentobarbital poisoning.

Ren. Fail. 18(2) , 299-303, (1996)

We report the use of continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHD) in a case of massive intentional ingestion of pentobarbital associated with severe coma and hypotension. Despite a poor hemodynamic state, toxic epuration (15% of drug ingested) was obtained...

Impairment of an electroconvulsive stimulus on reconsolidation of memories established by conditioning.

Chin. J. Physiol. 56(1) , 44-51, (2013)

The deduced memory consolidation and reconsolidation phases are sensitive to similar amnesic and memory-enhancing treatment. Electroconvulsive stimulus has been well known to impair memory consolidation. Therefore, we hypothesized that electroconvulsive stimu...

Sedative and hypnotic effect of freeze-dried paeoniflorin and sini san freeze-dried powder in pentobarbital sodium-induced mice.

J. Tradit. Chin. Med. 34(2) , 184-7, (2014)

To investigate the sedative and hypnotic activity of paeoniflorin and freeze-dried Sini San powder on mice and provide a reliable method for determining the pharmacodynamic material basis of Sini San.Male adult mice weighing 20-22 g were used in this study. T...

Pentobarbital withdrawal and treatment in an infant in the pediatric cardiac intensive care unit.

J. Clin. Anesth. 25(1) , 62-5, (2013)

Withdrawal syndromes following administration of sedative and analgesic infusions represent a significant morbidity that is described increasingly in the pediatric critical care literature. However, there are few descriptions of pentobarbital withdrawal sympt...

Pentobarbital for refractory intracranial hypertension: time to "go retro"?

Pediatr. Crit. Care Med. 14(3) , 323-4, (2013)

WMA says doctors must not prescribe drugs for execution.

BMJ 345 , e7076, (2012)

Midazolam and pentobarbital for refractory status epilepticus.

Pediatr. Neurol. 20(4) , 259-64, (1999)

Status epilepticus, a serious, life-threatening emergency characterized by prolonged seizure activity, occurs most commonly in pediatric patients. Although initial therapies with agents such as diazepam, phenytoin, or phenobarbital generally terminate seizure...
