Abstract
We report the case of a 79-year-old woman, in chronic renal insufficie ncy who recovered from anaesthesia after a delay of 24 hours, after fl umazenil (Anexate(R)) administration. She was given famotidine (Pepdin e(R)) the day before surgery. Midazolam was administered for premedica tion (5 mg per os) and for the induction of anaesthesia (2 mg intraven ous). Among the various causes of delayed recovery in this elderly pat ient, an interaction between midazolam and famotidine is discussed. (C ) 1998 Elsevier, Paris.
