چکیده

We present a case of refractory cardiogenic shock secondary to sustained release diltiazem poisoning.  Intravenous lipid emulsion therapy was initiated approximately 13 hours after ingestion. Vasopressors were weaned off hours after initiation of intravenous lipid emulsion therapy and the patient went on to make a full recovery.  This report adds to the paucity of data on intravenous lipid emulsion rescue therapy in sustained release diltiazem poisoning. We hypothesize that the intravenous lipid emulsion may have mediated its favorable hemodynamic effects via increases in myocardial calcium concentration with resultant increased inotropy.

Severe Diltiazem Poisoning Treated with Hyperinsulinaemia-Euglycaemia and Lipid Emulsion

Introduction. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) drugs are widely used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. CCB poisoning is associated with significant cardiovascular toxicity and is potentially fatal. Currently, there is no specific antidote and the treatment of CCB poisoning is supportive; however, this supportive therapy is often insufficient. We present a clinical case of severe dilti...
