May support digoxin Fab use for refractory VF in pediatric massive overdose; leaves open confirmation in prospective studies.
Does administration of digoxin-specific Fab fragments of antibody reverse prolonged ventricular fibrillation in a child with massive digoxin overdose?
Administration of digoxin-specific Fab fragments can rapidly and successfully reverse life-threatening, refractory ventricular fibrillation caused by massive digoxin overdose in children.
Zucker et al. (1982) studied this question.
