"We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman who suffered from a prolonged coma after acute self poisoning with bromazepam (serum concentration of 2,000 ng/ml at admission, 2 - 10 hours after ingestion of up to 180 mg) and zolpidem (900 ng/ml at admission)."7.76Protracted deep coma after bromazepam poisoning.

" Predictors were calculated in 6-month intervals and exactly 6 months before a drug overdose: opioid use (mean daily morphine-equivalent dose), benzodiazepine use (days' supply), antidepressant use (days' supply), zolpidem use (days' supply), mental health disorders (depression, anxiety/PTSD, psychosis), pain-related conditions, and substance use disorders (alcohol, other drug)."3.81Drug Overdose in a Retrospective Cohort with Non-Cancer Pain Treated with Opioids, Antidepressants, and/or Sedative-Hypnotics: Interactions with Mental Health Disorders. ( Liang, Y; Turner, BJ, 2015)
"We describe the case of a 73-year-old woman who suffered from a prolonged coma after acute self poisoning with bromazepam (serum concentration of 2,000 ng/ml at admission, 2 - 10 hours after ingestion of up to 180 mg) and zolpidem (900 ng/ml at admission)."3.76Protracted deep coma after bromazepam poisoning. ( Capdevila, X; Harry, P; Lakhal, K; Mathieu-Daude, JC; Pallancher, S, 2010)
"Zolpidem (Ambien), a relatively new nonbenzodiazepine sedative-hypnotic, was involved in the death of a 39-year-old obese male who was being treated for depression and insomnia."3.69Zolpidem tissue concentrations in a multiple drug related death involving Ambien. ( Benson, PA; Macapagal, EC; Meeker, JE; Som, CW, 1995)
"Flumazenil was not given in 55 cases."2.68Emergency department use of flumazenil prior to poison center consultation. ( Aks, S; Burda, T; Fischbein, C; Leikin, JB; Woods, K, 1997)
"Flumazenil has been reported to reverse sedation from all three Z-drugs."2.49The clinical and forensic toxicology of Z-drugs. ( Gunja, N, 2013)
"Flumazenil has been reported to reverse the CNS effects of zolpidem."1.39Pediatric zolpidem ingestion demonstrating zero-order kinetics treated with flumazenil. ( Carstairs, SD; Negus, E; Thornton, SL, 2013)
"Zolpidem was not present."1.35A fatal case of benzodiazepine withdrawal. ( Lann, MA; Molina, DK, 2009)
"A ventricular fibrillation was treated with external cardiac massage."1.34[Treatment of hydroxychloroquine poisoning with extracorporeal circulation]. ( Blin, D; Derderian, F; Durand, M; Gonthier, YT; Mongenot, F, 2007)
"Delirium is characterized by disturbances of consciousness, attention, cognition, and perception and is the most common reason for acute cognitive dysfunction in hospitalized elderly patients."1.33Medication sleuth: an important role for pharmacists in determining the etiology of delirium.

"Zolpidem (Ambien) is an imidazopyridine hypnotic recently introduced in the USA."1.29Acute overdose of zolpidem. ( Janssen, JK; Rafizadeh, V; Rozin, L; Wahba, WW; Winek, CL, 1996)
"Flumazenil (Anexate) was an effective antidote in mono- and combined intoxications involving zolpidem."1.29[Acute overdose of Zolpidem (Stilnox)]. ( Meier-Abt, PJ; Radovanovic, D; Wyss, PA, 1996)
" The methods used for pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism studies are based on column-switching high-performance liquid chromatography; they do not require any sample manipulation because the plasma or diluted urine is injected into a pre-column where clean-up and preconcentration take place."1.28Determination of zolpidem, a new sleep-inducing agent, and its metabolites in biological fluids: pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism and overdosing investigations in humans. ( Ascalone, V; Flaminio, L; Guinebault, P; Morselli, PL; Thénot, JP, 1992)
