Research Facts
Drug used in this ECT demonstration is Methitural (INN; Neraval, Thiogenal), or methitural sodium, also known as methioturiate, is a barbiturate derivative which was marketed in the 1950s in Europe (in Germany and Italy) as an ultra-short-acting intravenous anesthetic.
From the booklet: methitural sodium is a new ultrashort-acting thiobarbiturate used as a pre-treatment anesthetic, offers several advantages as adjunctive therapy. It greatly reduces the incidence of apnea, allays apprehension, shortens recovery time and provides for a prompter, calmer awakening after treatment.
