Abstrakt: Background: This report describes the successful rescue of a 12-year-old girl who ingested large quantities of clonazepam tablets.
Methods: The patient was promptly treated with flumazenil and hemoperfusion to alleviate the symptoms of central depression. Therapeutic drug monitoring was used to evaluate detoxification efficacy. The authors analyzed the rescue protocol for clonazepam poisoning based on the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and pharmacokinetics of clonazepam overdose.
Results: The patient responded well to the treatment and was discharged from the hospital without adverse events.
Conclusions: This case study demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of combining flumazenil with hemoperfusion as a treatment for clonazepam poisoning. This study aimed to provide insights into more effective methods for treating clonazepam overdose and contribute to the ongoing issue of managing this condition.
