Severe intoxication from xylazine inhalation

摘要

We present the first documented case of overdose from xylazine inhalation. The patient developed findings consistent with alpha2adrenergic agonist toxicity, eg coma, miosis, apnea, bradycardia, hypothermia, and dry mouth 2 hours after exposure. Standard dose naloxone did not reverse these effects. The patient fully recovered after appropriate supportive measures. A review of prior reports of xylazine exposure is provided.
