pubmed:abstractText
A case is reported of a 23 year old man who sustained a central anticholinergic syndrome after undergoing upper limb surgery under regional anaesthesia and sedation with 2 mg midazolam and 75 micrograms fentanyl. The disturbances consisted of excitation and inhibition. On the 4th postoperative day, he developed progressive coma, quickly and totally reversed with 2 mg physostigmine. Chronic benzodiazepine therapy seems to be a facilitating factor of central anticholinergic syndrome. The low rate of this postoperative complication seems to proceed from failure to recognize it. Differential diagnosis and place of physostigmine therapy are discussed.
