Abstract

Sodium thiopental, better known as sodium pentothalbarbiturate general anaesthetic. It is an intravenous ultrasometimes used during interrogations—not to cause pain, but to wcompliant to pressure. In the recent times using it as a major guiding tool. But in the year 2010 the Supreme Court of Indpart of the investigation but not the sole criteria for the conviction of the accused. This paper therefore studied the effecsodium thiopental in albino rats to check for any damages that occurred at histtechnique that doesn’t produce results that are reproducible and consistent, also it is a technique that causes harm.
