Chemical compound and disease context of Methohexitone

 

Biological context of Methohexitone

  • This is not true for methohexitone, which shows comparable pharmacokinetics after single and multiple dose administration [21].
  • 4. To complement earlier studies of the inhibitory actions of anaesthetics on K(+)-evoked catecholamine secretion and the associated Ca2+ uptake, the IC50 values for etomidate and methohexitone were determined using a biochemical assay [22].
  • During methohexital anesthesia, mean arterial pressure decreased from 108 to 101 mmHg, and heart rate increased from 95 to 146 beats/min [4].
  • The mean maximum increase over baseline systolic pressure was 2.1 +/- 2.9 mmHg with propofol, and 26.7 +/- 4.5 mmHg with methohexital (P less than 0.001) [23].
  • Similarly, the plateau of the action potential prolonged by methohexital, described in this study was abolished by 50 microM saxitoxin [24].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Methohexitone

  • Closed-loop feedback control of methohexital anesthesia by quantitative EEG analysis in humans [39].
  • Rectal methohexital premedication in children, a dose-comparison study [40].
  • Oral self-administration of methohexital in baboons [41].
  • Intravenous (i.v.) methohexital (MTH, Brevital) was found to have an effect on the intraoperative electrocorticogram (ECOG) of 63 patients who had temporal lobectomies performed under general anesthesia for intractable complex partial seizures [42].
  • Five CMHs and 5 AMHs were studied in a crossover study in which responses to the 41-49 degrees C stimuli were obtained first under halothane-N2O (0.8%-67%) anesthesia, then under an ultrashort acting barbiturate, methohexital (2-9 mg/kg over 15 min), and finally once again under halothane-N2O anesthesia [43].
