Natrijum tiopental je barbiturat koji se intravenozno administrira radi indukcije opšte anestezije ili ostvarivanja kompletne anestezije tokom kratkog vremenskog perioda. On se takođe korisiti pri hipnozi, i kontroli konvulzivnih stanja. On je primenjivan kod neurohirurških pacijenata s ciljem snižavanja povišenog intrakranijalnog pritiska. On ne proizvodi pobuđenost ali ima slaba analgetička i mišićno relaksantna svojstva.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]
