Definition
English
:
A barbiturate that is administered intravenously for the induction of general
anesthesia
or for the production of complete
anesthesia
of short duration. It is also used for
hypnosis
and for the
control
of convulsive states. It has been used in neurosurgical
patients
to reduce increased
intracranial pressure
. It does not produce any excitation but has poor analgesic and muscle relaxant properties.
Small doses
have been shown to be anti-analgesic and lower the
pain threshold
. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p920)
