経気管支鏡吸引により救い得た急性睡眠剤中毒の1例

抄録

A student was brought to the author's clinic after 12 hours after he had taken 18g of Brovalin. His case was serious, showing obvious stridor, cyanosis, dyspnoea and tachycardia. As soon as the fluid in the trachea and the bronchi was removed by bronchoscopy, the stridor stoPPed and all the symptoms disapPeared rapidly. He had had his stomach washed before he came to the author's clinic, and the stridor had apPeared immediately after the washing.
Therefore, it is considered that the fluid flowed into the respiratory tract at the stomachwashing. The bronchoscopic suction is effectiVg for such dyspnoea caused by acute fluid aspiration, and in view of the fact that pneumonia aspirativa plays an important role in the death from acute soporific intoxication, this method should be tried in tho8e cases.
