Resumo1 Alpha-chloralose, formed by the condensation of glucose with chloral, is used as a rodenticide and in the control of bird pests. 2 In two cases of poisoning with alpha-chloralose the clinical features included coma and generalized convulsions resembling the effects of strychnine more than those of chloral hydrate. 3 The principles of management are the support of vital functions in the unconscious patient and removal of unabsorbed poison by gastric lavage. Diazepam may be used to control convulsions.
