Doctors in Pittsburgh and other cities are testing barbiturate induced brain sleep to halt swelling after severe head injury. The approach, still experimental, aims to pause brain activity during critical swelling and awaken the brain later to reduce permanent damage. Supporters cite notable drops in death rates among youths and adults, while critics warn of side effects and premature use.
