[Physostigmine reversal of central anticholinergic syndrome induced by midazolam/fentanyl, benzoctamine/buprenorphine and etomidate/carticaine or by atropine/promethazine/pethidine for premedication? (author's transl)]

Abstract

Five cases of post narcotic delirium, somnolence or coma are interpreted as central anticholinergic syndromes as they were reversed by physostigmine. There is to date no information whether the drug combinations midazolam/fentanyl, benzoctamine/buprenorphine and etomidate/carticaine may act as central anticholinergic agents.
