Differential diagnostic value and influence on EEG of Anexate (Flumazenil, Ro 15-1788) in benzodiazepine-intoxication. A case report.
The authors report on a patient, admitted to a regional hospital in a comatose state of uncertain origin. Anexate (Flumazenil, Ro 15-1788) was used to demonstrate the etiology of this benzodiazepine-induced coma. The almost immediate effect of flumazenil injection on EEG in benzodiazepine induced coma is shown.
