Postmortem Fentanyl Concentrations: A Review
Fentanyl is a potent synthetic narcotic analgesic available through the prescription of various formulations; intravenous injection, transmucosal lollipops and lozenges, as well as transdermal patches. Over the years, fentanyl has been a steadily increasing topic of discussion in the literature with pharmacokinetic studies, postmortem case studies, antemortem case studies, comparison of postmor...
متن کاملPostmortem redistribution of fentanyl in blood.
Fentanyl concentrations were measured in postmortem specimens collected in 20 medical examiner cases from femoral blood (FB), heart blood (HB), heart tissue, liver tissue, and skeletal muscle. Unique was a subset of 7 cases in which FB was obtained at 2 postmortem intervals, shortly after death (FB1) and at autopsy (FB2). The mean collection times of FB1 and FB2 after death were 4.0 and 21.6 ho...
متن کاملPostmortem tissue concentrations of olanzapine.
Twenty-eight cases from 2004-2007 involving olanzapine were analyzed at the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. Olanzapine was initially detected by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and then confirmed by GC with a nitrogen-phosphorus detector. In cases where olanzapine was detected, concentrations in peripheral blood (PB), central blood (CB), liver, and vitreou...
متن کاملPostmortem femoral blood concentrations of risperidone.
Postmortem femoral blood concentrations of the antipsychotic drug risperidone and the active metabolite 9-hydroxyrisperidone were determined by an achiral LC-MS/MS method in 38 cases. The cause of death was classified as unrelated to risperidone in 30 cases, in which the sum of the concentration of the drug and metabolite ranged from below the limit of quantification to 0.058 mg/kg (median 0.00...
متن کاملSome worlds about postmortem blood atropine concentrations
Atropine is an anticholinergic drug, used in treatment of spasm and pain. Postmortem blood atropine concentrations tend to be regionally dependent. We reported in this work the analytical findings of atropine in the peripheral and heart blood from a case of suspected death. Atropine was determined in both peripheral and heart blood by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Towards...
