Key result
Extracorporeal life support successfully maintained cardiac output and allowed recovery of left ventricular function in a neonate with acute verapamil and propranolol toxicity.
Case Report (n=1)
ECLS can successfully maintain cardiac output and vital organ perfusion in neonates with severe, reversible cardiac dysfunction caused by antiarrhythmic drug toxicity.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support ECLS feasibility in neonatal drug toxicity; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Rita et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Acute verapamil and propranolol toxicity (n=1). Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) was evaluated on Recovery of sinus rhythm and left ventricular function. Extracorporeal life support successfully maintained cardiac output and allowed recovery of left ventricular function in a neonate with acute verapamil and propranolol toxicity.
