Droperidol and ondansetron-induced QT interval prolongation: a clinical drug interaction study.
BACKGROUND Droperidol and ondansetron have previously been found to prolong the QT interval in the treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting. However, this adverse effect has never been confirmed and compared with both drugs under controlled conditions. The objective was to study the effects of droperidol and ondansetron alone or in combination on QT interval duration in healthy subjects. ...

متن کاملCocaine induced prolongation of the QT interval.
P rolongation of the QT interval is a serious electrocardiogram finding because of its association with torsades de pointes and sudden cardiac death. Both congenital and acquired factors can lead to abnormal lengthening of the QT interval. Six types of congenital long QT syndrome (LQT1– LQT6) have been described, each involving mutations in genes encoding potassium or sodium transmembrane chann...
متن کاملProlongation of QTc interval after postoperative nausea and vomiting treatment by droperidol or ondansetron.
BACKGROUND At dosages above 0.1 mg/kg, droperidol induces a dose-dependent QTc interval prolongation. Although subject to controversy, low-dose droperidol has recently been suspected to induce cardiac arrhythmias. Hence, 5-hydroxytryptamine type 3 antagonists have become the first-line drug for management of postoperative nausea and vomiting. These drugs are also known to prolong the QTc interv...
