The most recent time I remember seeing it was in 24 (series 2 or 3 IIRC) 
where Jack is being tortured, everytime he loses consciousness they wake him 
again immediately using that chemical.  Reading wikipedia, maybe it is just 
smelling salts, it says that ammonium carbonate can be "crushed when needed 
in order to revive someone that has fainted".
