Abstract

The sedative-analgesic drugs frequently are used to relieve pain and anxiety of patients in intensive care units (ICU). An ideal agent would be rapidly metabolized, and facilitate desirable level of sedation without compromising hemodynamic and respiratory function. This makes opioids and benzodiazepines to be the most commonly prescribed drugs in intensive care. However, weaning off from these drugs may be associated with withdrawal effects. We present a case report of febrile seizure following airway pediatric surgery and opiate and benzodiazepine discontinuation. The weaning off process from these drugs should be meticulously done especially in pediatric age group to avoid subsequent complications. © 2021 Faculty of Anaesthesia, Pain and Intensive Care, AFMS.
