Testing for Barbiturates in Patient Samples

The lab analyst measures the level of or detects the presence of barbiturates in a patient sample, primarily a serum or urine specimen. Clinicians commonly prescribe barbiturates, especially short and intermediate acting forms, to prevent seizures or convulsions, but they frequently need to test for barbiturates as they are drugs of abuse.
