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

Midazolam may occasionally precipitate hostility and violence instead of tranquility. We characterized these episodes, their rate of occurrence, the potential paradoxical responders and possible predisposing circumstances among patients undergoing lower body surgery under spinal or epidural anaesthesia and midazolam sedation.

Voxel based morphometry (VBM) is a widely used technique for studying the structure of the brain. Direct comparisons between the results obtained using VBM and the underlying histology are limited, however. To circumvent the problems inherent in comparing VBM data

Drug safety, 17(3), 181-196 (1997-11-05)
The worldwide expansion in the use of benzodiazepines has led to their frequent, and often inappropriate, use and to increase in their involvement in self-induced poisoning and iatrogenic overdosing. Flumazenil is a specific and competitive antagonist at the central benzodiazepine
