title: [Phlebitis of the arm caused by pentothal infusion].
abstract: The administration of high doses of sodium penthiobarbital in intensive resuscitation sometimes results in venous and cutaneous lesions in the form of phlebitis associated with major necrosis. Histological analysis demonstrates that these are essentially intimal lesions and the authors suggest various hypotheses to explain the origin of such clinical signs.
