description Ciprofol is a novel intravenous anesthetic agent and a highly selective gamma-aminobutyric acid-A receptor agonist, similar to propofol. This is the first report about ciprofol overdose occurring during the maintenance phase of anesthesia for a surgical intervention. The accidental administration of an excessive ciprofol dose to a 37-year-old woman admitted to our hospital for laparoscopic myomectomy occurred during the first 3 minutes of maintenance anesthesia, in which the administered dose was 3.67 mg/kg instead of 0.06 mg/kg. The patient’s bispectral index (BIS) decreased to 0 after 6 minutes and returned to 26 after 23 minutes, after which the surgery was restarted and successfully completed with the planned ciprofol maintenance anesthesia dose. During the 23 minutes after ciprofol overdose, the patient’s vital signs were stable with the lowest mean arterial pressure being 69.3 mmHg. The patient regained consciousness quickly and recovered well after myomectomy. The patient’s BIS decreased progressively, whereas her blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation did not change significantly. In the present case of ciprofol overdose, the observed stable blood pressure protected against organ injury during laparoscopic myomectomy.
