IV lipid emulsion therapy may be an effective treatment for fatal cardiotoxicity and shock due to multi-drug intoxication.
In this report, we present a patient with suicidal attempt by multi-drug (Sertraline, quetiapine and Tarka: 240 mg verapamil, 4 mg trandopril) ingestion. The patient developed atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response, prolongation of QT period and shock. The symptoms of the patient improved dramatically following IV lipid emulsion (ILE) therapy. Any side-effect related to ILE therapy was not determined. ILE therapy may be used in management of patients with fatal cardiotoxicity due to multi-drug intoxication.
