Flumazenil--treatment or toxin
Abstract
Flumazenil is frequently administered to the poisoned patient. Seizures may be precipitated and resedation may occur in patients who awakened following flumazenil administration. Seizures may increase morbidity and mortality of the overdose. Benefit:Risk ratio of administering flumazenil should be determined in each overdose patient. Indications for flumazenil are limited.
