Souhrn

Prezentovaná práce popisuje první případ smrtelné intoxikace derivátem fentanylu, konkrétně cyclopropylfentanylem v Polské republice, jehož obětí byl 37letý muž. Tento opioid byl prokázán v biologickém materiálu odebraném během soudně lékařské pitvy a ve stříkačce nalezené poblíž zemřelého. Krev a moč zemřelého byly analyzovány metodou kapalinové chromatografie s hmotnostní spektrometrií. V krvi zemřelého byla zjištěna koncentrace cyklopropylfentanylu 24 ng/ml a v jeho moči 73 ng/ml. Případ úmrtí byl uzavřen jako smrtelná intoxikace jedinou látkou - cyklopropylfentanylem s náhlým udušením ucpáním dýchacích cest. Z popsaného případu vyplývá, že cyklopropylfentanyl je další syntetický opioid, který ohrožuje životy jeho uživatelů, a proto vyžaduje neustálé sledování a další studie.
