Abstract
The effect of hypnotic drugs on the brain stability with respect to complete ischemia posttraumatic convulsive reactions and hypoxia has been studied in animals with model brain injury. It is established that zopiclone exhibits pronounced hypnotic effect during the first and second week after brain injury, while nitrazepam, zolpidem, and melaxen are effective in the first week. The neuroprotective effects of zopiclone and zolpidem are more pronounced than those of melaxen and nitrazepam.
