Abstract
We report a midazolam-related death that occurred during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The acute intoxication due to midazolam overdose was confirmed by high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of the blood samples taken from the patient in the intensive care unit (2.8 microg/ml) and postmortem (2.4 microg/ml). The case strongly emphasizes the necessity of the precautions that should be taken when midazolam is intravenously administered.Entities:
