Respiratory Failure Requiring Mechanical Ventilation Among Patients Receiving Chlordiazepoxide for Alcohol Withdrawal Symptoms. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Benzodiazepines are a cornerstone in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal symptoms, although their use is associated with a risk of sedation leading to respiratory depression. This study describes the reasons for and frequency of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, and clinical outcomes for patients receiving symptom ...

Effect of flumazenil on recovery from anesthesia and the bispectral index after sevoflurane/fentanyl general anesthesia in unpremedicated patients [PDF]
BackgroundBenzodiazepines have a hypnotic/sedative effect through the inhibitory action of γ-aminobutyric acid type A receptor. Flumazenil antagonizes these effects via competitive inhibition, so it has been used to reverse the effect of benzodiazepines.
