Abstract

Bipolar disorder is one of the most common psychiatric disorders. Benzodiazepines can be used as an additional treatment for mania. Adding a benzodiazepine such as clonazepam or lorazepam to acute attack treatment, provides a faster and more effective treatment. High dose parenteral use of benzodiazepines can lead to respiratory depression. As far as we know, no cases of Intensıve Care Unit follow-up requiring respiratory depression due to olanzapine or clonazepam use in an otherwise healthy than a psychiatric disorder is reported in the literature. We report a case of respiratory depression due to treatment of manic episode with olanzapine 10 mg pills and clonazepam 2 mg pills.

Özet

Bipolar duygulanım bozukluğu sık görülen psikiyatrik bozukluklardan biridir. Benzodiyazepinler maninin tedavisinde antipsikotiklere ek olarak kullanılabilir. Tedaviye klonazepam veya lorazepam gibi bir benzodiyazepin eklenmesi, akut nöbet tedavisinin daha hızlı ve etkili olmasını sağlar. Benzodiyazepinlerin özellikle parenteral yüksek doz kullanımı solunum depresyonu yapabilmektedir. Bildiğimiz kadarı ile psikiyatrik bozukluk dışında başka hastalığı olmayan bir kişide, sadece olanzapin ve klonazepam kullanımına bağlı, yoğun bakımda izlemeye alınmasına gerek görülecek kadar solunum depresyonu gelişen olgu bildirimi yoktur. Bu yazıda manik nöbet tanısı ile olanzapin 10 mg/gün ile tedaviye başlanılan ve klonazepam 2 mg/gün verilmesinden sonra solunum depresyonu gelişen bir olgu sunulmuştur.
