TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Accidental poisoning with detomidine and butorphanol JO - Occupational medicine A1 - Hannah, N. SP - 494 EP - 495 VL - 60 IS - 6 N2 - This is a case report concerning a veterinarian who spilled detomidine and butorphanol on dermatitic hands while sedating a horse. This resulted in acute poisoning from which the patient spontaneously recovered with supportive management. Veterinarians often suffer from occupational dermatitis and handle strong sedatives with no gloves while working around unpredictable animals. Thus, this group is at risk of accidental self-poisoning from this method.
