NEJM: The Serotonin Syndrome

Posted by Clark Venable on 3/17/2005

Boyer and Shannon's article in the NEJM The Serotonin Syndrome is an excellent review/introduction to a syndrome every anesthesiologist should be familiar with but that had not been defined when I was in training. Excess serotonergic agonism can be triggered not only by certain drug overdoses, but also by many drugs anesthesiologist give frequently (fentanyl!).
