Loxapine versus olanzapine in the treatment of delirium following traumatic brain injury
KRIEGER D; HANSEN K; MCDERMOTT C
NEUROREHABILITATION , 2003, vol. 18, n° 3, p. 205-208 Doc n°: 110092 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : AF3 - TRAUMATISME CRANIEN The use of typical neuroleptics has always been the mainstay of treatment for delirium following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Given the recent application of atypical neuroleptics to various psychiatric conditions formerly treated with typical neuroleptics, one questions whether this new class of drugs is superior to its predecessor in treating delirium post-TBI. We present a case of one patient with TBI-induced delirium where in fact the use of the typical mid-potency neuroleptic, loxapine, appeared to have a better clinical effect over the atypical neuroleptic, olanzapine.
