Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Serotonin syndrome is an unexpected adverse reaction of serotonergic medication. Some drugs used by anesthesiologists may cause serotonin syndrome. Serotonin syndrome is known to be related to 5-hydroxytryptamine 1A and 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A agonism. However, recent research has revealed evidence that 5-hydroxytryptamine 3 (5-HT3) antagonism can also play a role in serotonin syndrome. Among the 5-HT3 antagonists, palonosetron is the most highly specific. In this study, we present the first case of fentanyl- and meperidine-induced serotonin syndrome precipitated by palonosetron in general anesthesia. KCI Citation Count: 0
