Central Anticholinergic Syndrome — a forgotten entity
2008年2月12日 · Central anticholinergic syndrome is due to a decrease in the inhibitory acetylcholine activity in the brain. It occurs when central cholinergic sites are occupied by specific drugs and also as a result of an insufficient release of acetylcholine.
The central anticholinergic syndrome: A rare cause of …
Central anticholinergic syndrome (CAS) is defined as an absolute or relative reduction in cholinergic activity in the central nervous system. 1 In anesthesia practice, the syndrome originally was described in connection with drugs having central anticholinergic actions. To our knowledge, CAS has not been reported after cardiac surgery.
Central anticholinergic syndrome (CAS) in anesthesia and
The clinical picture of the central cholinergic blockade, known as the central anticholinergic syndrome (CAS), is identical with the central symptoms of atropine intoxication. This behaviour consists of agitation including seizures, restlessness, hallucinations, disorientation or signs of depression such as stupor, coma and respiratory depression.

Post-operative central anticholinergic syndrome - LWW
Central anticholinergic syndrome is defined as an absolute or relative reduction in cholinergic activity in the central nervous system [1]. In anaesthetic practice the syndrome was originally described in connection with drugs with central anticholinergic actions, such as hyoscine butylbromide (scopolamine) [2].
Pharmacological management of anticholinergic delirium ‐ …
The central anticholinergic syndrome is most commonly manifested as agitation that may progress to a hyperactive (agitated) delirium, often with pressured, incoherent speech, and visual and/or auditory hallucinations. Patients may have visual perceptual abnormalities and be seen to be picking at objects on their bed sheets.

2022年5月29日 · Acute anticholinergic syndrome refers to signs and symptoms caused by the inhibition of the effect of acetylcholine on muscarinic receptors. Causes: 1) Belladonna alkaloids (atropine, scopolamine, hyoscine, hyoscyamine); jimson weed (Datura stramonium), nightshade plant (Atropa belladonna), henbane (Hyoscyamus niger).

1984年3月1日 · Central nervous system symptoms resulting from the use of these drugs are sometimes called the central anticholinergic syndrome. This syndrome can occur at any age, but the elderly are at higher risk because of their increased sensitivity to all drug effects and because antiholinergics are so frequently precribed for older people (see box).
