Amiodarone-Induced Life-Threatening Refractory Hypotension
BACKGROUND Amiodarone is frequently used in emergency departments for treatment of arrhythmias. Incidence of several amiodarone-related adverse events is unknown. The literature is sparse for potentially life-threatening adverse effects of amiodarone. CASE REPORT We present a case of a male patient who presented with chest discomfort and rapid atrial fibrillation. He was known to have paroxys...
متن کاملRefractory Amiodarone-induced Thyrotoxicosis: The Surgical Option
Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis is often poorly tolerated owing to underlying cardiac disease, and frequently resistant to medical therapy. We describe a 48-year-old patient with severe cardiac disease who developed amiodarone-associated thyrotoxicosis, refractory to standard medical therapy. Due to the unremitting thyrotoxicosis, a total thyroidectomy was performed without complications resu...
متن کاملOndansetron-Induced Life Threatening Hypokalemia.
Ondansetron is widely used in general practice for nausea and vomiting due to any cause. We report a rare side effect, life-threatening hypokalaemia following intravenous Ondansetron injection. It may be judicious to restrict the use of Odansetron to patients with severe vomiting due to chemotherapy or in post-operative state. Life-threatening hypokalemia can occur without any warning and may b...
متن کاملTotal thyroidectomy for medically refractory amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis.
Amiodarone is a class III antiarrhythmic drug widely used for both ventricular and supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Due to its high iodine content and structural similarity to thyroxine, abnormalities in thyroid function are common in patients taking amiodarone, especially with long-term use. Both hypo- and hyperthyroidism have been associated with amiodarone, with the former far more common ...
