High-Dose Thiopental in the Treatment of Refractory Status Epilepticus in Intensive Care Unit
Neurol 59:1249-1251, Parviainen,I.,et al, 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors studied prospectively the effects of thiopental anesthesia on seizure control, hemodynamics, and the course of intensive care in 10 patients with refractory status epilepticus. Clinical and electrophysiological seizures were ter minated in every patient. Hemodynamically, thiopental was well tolerated, but slow recovery from anesthesia prolonged the need for intensive care.
