This is the first case report published in Italy of a death involving propofol and other drugs. The anesthesiologist was found dead with an empty drip still inserted in the hand and another one near his body. Forensic and toxicological findings suggested that the cause of death was a respiratory depression due to a self\u2010administration of a rapidly infused lethal drug mixture. Analytical drug quantification was performed by gas chromatography\u2010mass spectrometry. Blood analysis revealed: zolpidem (0.86\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL), propofol (0.30\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL), midazolam (0.08\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL), thiopental (0.03\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL), and amitriptyline (0.07\u00a0\u03bcg\/mL). Adipose tissue and hair analysis suggested a previous and repeated use of these drugs verifying the fact that in Italy recreational abuse of anesthetic and sedative agents in health care practitioners is becoming an increasing problem.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1556-4029.12053","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,13]],"date-time":"2013-02-13T20:54:49Z","timestamp":1360788889000},"page":"837-841","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["Suicide by Self\u2010Administration of a Drug Mixture (Propofol, Midazolam, and Zolpidem) in an Anesthesiologist: The First Case Report in Italy"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"58","author":[{"given":"Anna Pia","family":"Colucci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Forensic Toxicology of Department of Internal Medicine and Public Health University of Bari Bari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roberto","family":"Gagliano\u2010Candela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chief of Laboratory of Forensic Toxicology of Department of Internal Medicine and Public Health University of Bari Bari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lucia","family":"Aventaggiato","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Researcher of Laboratory of Forensic Toxicology of Department of Internal Medicine and Public Health University of Bari Bari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"De Donno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Public Health University of Bari Bari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sabrina","family":"Leonardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Public Health University of Bari Bari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Strisciullo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Forensic Toxicology of Department of Internal Medicine and Public Health University of Bari Bari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Introna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Public Health University of Bari Bari Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1213\/ane.0b013e318198d45e"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1520\/JFS13305J"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0379-0738(94)90314-X"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004149900129"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jflm.2008.12.010"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.forsciint.2005.12.027"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bja\/ael168"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/bja\/67.5.539"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/jat\/34.6.342"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","unstructured":"The International Association of Forensic Toxicologists (TIAFT).Reference blood level list of therapeutic and toxic substances 2011 http:\/\/www.tiaft.org\/(accessed February 2011)."},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s004140100240"}],"container-title":["Journal of Forensic Sciences"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2F1556-4029.12053","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/1556-4029.12053","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,15]],"date-time":"2023-10-15T06:24:06Z","timestamp":1697351046000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/1556-4029.12053"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,13]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2013,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/1556-4029.12053"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/1556-4029.12053","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0022-1198","1556-4029"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0022-1198","type":"print"},{"value":"1556-4029","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013,2,13]]}}}
