A case of agitated delirium secondary to bilateral occipital cerebral infarctions in a cancer patient was refractory to trials of large doses of intravenous psychotropic agents, but continuous intravenous infusion of haloperidol controlled agitation rapidly and safely. A total haloperidol dose of 600 mg/day was used without complications. Haloperidol by continuous infusion should be considered in the management of severe, refractory agitation in patients who are medically ill.
一名癌症患者因双侧枕叶脑梗死继发激越性谵妄，大剂量静脉注射精神药物治疗无效，但持续静脉输注氟哌啶醇迅速且安全地控制了激越症状。氟哌啶醇总剂量为每日600毫克，未出现并发症。对于患有内科疾病的患者，若出现严重的难治性激越，应考虑采用持续输注氟哌啶醇进行治疗。
