AI Article Synopsis
- A 3-year-old child experienced over-sedation following the administration of intranasal midazolam and sufentanil for dental work.
- The child's decreased oxygen levels were caused by laryngospasm, which required intervention with positive pressure ventilation and oxygen.
- The sedation was successfully reversed using a combination of intranasal flumazenil and naloxone.
Article Abstract
We describe a 3-year-old child who became over-sedated after receiving intranasal (IN) midazolam (0.53 mg.kg(-1)) and IN sufentanil (1 mcg.kg(-1)) for dental restorations in the dental office. Desaturation was attributed to laryngospasm, which was managed with positive pressure ventilation and oxygen. The sedation was reversed with a combination of IN flumazenil and naloxone.

Introduction: Neuropathic pain is a debilitating neurological disorder and is on the rise. Since no effective treatment has been so far approved to combat the complex pathological mechanisms behind neuropathic pain, finding new therapeutic candidates is of great importance. Astaxanthin (AST) is a carotenoid with strong antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory activities.

Background: Remimazolam, an ultra-short-acting anesthetic with flumazenil as a reversal agent, typically facilitates patient awakening postoperatively. However, our case reveals an unusual occurrence: despite flumazenil initially restoring consciousness, re-sedation due to remimazolam ensued six hours later.
Case: A 65-year-old woman underwent total intravenous general anesthesia with remimazolam and remifentanil during the 140-min surgery.

Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 872 patients admitted for acute recreational drug poisoning between 2014 and 2022 to evaluate discrepancies between their self-reported drug use and toxicological tests.
- The results showed that patients typically underreported the number of substances ingested, with benzodiazepines, Pregabalin, and THC being the most commonly missed drugs, while opiates and opioids were linked to severe outcomes, including cardiopulmonary failure and death.
- The findings suggest that improvements in understanding clinical management and substance use patterns are needed, as legislation changes have influenced detection rates of certain drugs over time.
Alternative Reinforcers Enhance the Effects of Opioid Antagonists, but Not Agonists, on Oxycodone Choice Self-Administration in Nonhuman Primates.

Clinical reports suggest that the most effective strategies for managing opioid use disorder comprise a comprehensive treatment program of both pharmacological and nonpharmacological approaches. However, the conditions under which these combinations are most effective are not well characterized. This study examined whether the presence of an alternative reinforcer could alter the efficacy of Food and Drug Administration-approved opioid antagonist or agonist medications, as well as the nonopioid flumazenil, in decreasing oxycodone choice self-administration in nonhuman primates.

Background: Opioid-induced rigidity is typically observed during rapid administration of fentanyl. Herein, we present a case in which rigidity occurred after reversal of rocuronium during emergence from anesthesia.
Case Presentation: A 73-year-old man underwent video-assisted partial lung resection.
