Abstract

Alprazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine, which has antidepressant properties. Few overdoses were described with this agent. Major clinical symptoms of these overdoses are sedation. The bispectral index (BIS), a numeric value derived from bispectral analysis of EEG, has been introduced as a monitor of the hypnotic component of anaesthesia. In this case, our aim is to demonstrate the usefulness of BIS monitoring in the management of patients who were poisoned with benzodiazepines such as alprazolam.
