Case Report (n=1)
Does frequent intermittent, intravenous administration of lidocaine hydrochloride control recurrent ventricular tachycardia in a patient failing other drugs?
Intermittent intravenous lidocaine successfully controlled recurrent ventricular tachycardia refractory to other medications in a single case.
Julius L. Bedynek (1966) conducted a case report in Recurrent ventricular tachycardia (n=1). Lidocaine (Xylocaine) hydrochloride vs. Other commonly available drugs was evaluated on Control of recurrent ventricular tachycardia. Frequent intermittent, intravenous administration of lidocaine successfully controlled recurrent ventricular tachycardia after the failure of other commonly available drugs.
