In adult cats, authors studied changes in parameters obtained by the recordings of sensory evoked potentials following cumulative intravenous administration of phenobarbital. P1 and N1 of cortical SEP showed gradual tendencies to decrease in amplitude and to increase in latency with increasing barbiturate dose. These changes preceded to the appearance of burst-suppression activity on electroencephalogram. At this point I-II and III-IV interpeak latencies of BAEP showed statistically significant increase. BAEP and all early components of SEP (I.II.III) persisted in the extremely high serum concentration of phenobarbital. Furthermore, II-III interpeak latency of BAEP showed no statistically significant increase. These experimental results suggest that sensory evoked potentials will provide useful information in the assessment of the brainstem function in patients under deep coma.

D010634 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.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
