Tóm tắt

Four critically injured children receiving large doses of phenobarbitone were studied during hypothermia (30°–31°C) and at normal body temperature. The volume of distribution of phenobarbitone varied from 0.79 to 1.01 litres per kg and the serum té ranged from 36.8 ± 9.4 to 86.2 ± 10.5 hrs. The percentage of dose recovered in urine in 16 days ranged from 40.5 to 65.5 pecrent: 2.7 to 12.4 percent as hydroxyphenobarbitone, 1.7 to 19.7 percent as conjugated hydroxyphenobarbitone, 6.0 to 22.4 percent as phenobarbitone-N-glucoside and 17.8 to 23.1 percent as unchanged drug. After the body temperature was allowed to return to normal the rate of excretion of metabolites increased substantially and the rate of excretion of the unchanged drug decreased markedly. It is concluded that reduction in body temperature influences the volume of distribution, rate of metabolism and excretion of phenobarbitone.
