In two apparently disoriented patients, the emergency physician's use of amobarbital quickly eliminated diagnoses of an organic etiology. Although thousands of amobarbital interviews have had no complications, the use of amobarbital should follow a thorough evaluation. The amobarbital interview is a safe and simple technique to discriminate functional from organic illness, thus avoiding unnecessary medical and surgical treatment, neglected illness, and inappropriate disposition.
在两名明显定向障碍的患者中，急诊医生使用异戊巴比妥迅速排除了器质性病因的诊断。尽管数千次异戊巴比妥问诊均未出现并发症，但使用异戊巴比妥前应进行全面评估。异戊巴比妥问诊是一种安全简便的方法，可区分功能性疾病与器质性疾病，从而避免不必要的药物和手术治疗、漏诊疾病以及不恰当的处置。
