[Benzodiazepine and flumazenil in elective electric cardioversion].

The Authors report on the use of Flumazenil (Antagonist of the benzodiazepines in the CNS) in patients awakening from benzodiazepine induced necrosis for defibrillation. When used in these circumstances, the normal side effects of the narcosis (arrhythmia, rebound hypertensive convulsions, states of paradoxical anxiety) were almost completely absent. Furthermore, given the optimal quality of the rapid awakening, in about 5 minutes, the antagonistic qualities of the drug were confirmed making further development of the therapeutic uses of the benzodiazepines possible.

[Urapidil in intraoperative continuous infusion].

The author reports the results of a clinical experiment with Urapidil administered in continue infusion to induce controlled hypotension during hemilaminectomies. The reduction of pressure values is obtained after 15-20 minutes since the beginning of drug infusion (35-40% compared with the starting basis values); moreover, because of the double action mechanism of the drug (central and peripheral), "reflex tachycardia", a common symptom in hypotensive drugs used in the past, disappears. In addition, the author states that the absence of potentially toxic degrading metabolites and the lack of "rebound" hypertensive phenomena or tachyphylaxia assure very good administration and pharmacological security of the drug.
