"Euthasol [390 mg/mL pentobarbital and 50 mg/mL phenytoin] ... had been stolen from his on-site, secured pharmacy. The previously unused 100 mg vial was missing approximately 8 mL of solution."
Check my math, but that sounds like she dosed with what amounted to about 3.12g of pentobarbitol? So about a third what would have been a PPH-recommended lethal dose?
"The patient's coma resolved over the following 48 hours, and she was successfully extubated on hospital day three. [...] She was discharged to an inpatient facility in good condition on hospital day thirteen without neurologic sequelae."
So that's potentially good news if any of us get too light a dose or are interrupted in our attempt to ctb with N. There's a chance we won't end up vegetative.
Thank you for this information, Empty RN.
