Barbiturate overdosage is a frequent cause of acute poisoning and death; the toxic effects of overdosage include prolonged coma, respiratory depression; and cardiovascular depression, with hypotension and shock leading to renal failure. Absent bowel sounds are a sign of severe poisoning, their return sometimes heralding further absorption of any remaining barbiturate in the gastro-intestinal tract, with resultant relapse. Hypothermia is common, with associated pyrexia during recovery. Characteristic erythematous or haemorrhagic blisters (bullae) may occur. Death is usually due to respiratory and circulatory failure. The aim in treating poisoning with Sedabarb is to prevent further absorption. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.
