A case of 17 year old female with acute benzodiazepines (800 mg of bentazepan and 400 mg de chlordiazepoxide) and tricyclic antidepressants (500 mg of imipramine) self poisoning is reported. Initial examination showed comatous patient (Glasgow coma scale 7, sedation scale 4) and a critical respiratory failure with a suspicious of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents. Supportive measures were started and flumazenil administered intravenous (0.1 mg/min) until a total dose of 1.2 mg; 15 minutes later neurological state was absolutely normal. We conclude that flumazenil is a selective and useful benzodiazepine antagonist in the treatment of acute benzodiazepine poisoning.

D011963 Receptors, GABA-A Cell surface proteins which bind GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID and contain an integral membrane chloride channel. Each receptor is assembled as a pentamer from a pool of at least 19 different possible subunits. The receptors belong to a superfamily that share a common CYSTEINE loop.
