Abstract

Report on a case of cardiac arrest and coma lasting 10 hours secondary to the i.v. administration of 2 mg Flunitrazepam. The possible cardiorespiratory depressant respectively cerebral side-effects of Flunitrazepam are discussed. The high concentration of Flunitrazepam in the registered ampules is misleading to overdosage.
