Does intravenous phenytoin cause complete atrioventricular block with ventricular asystole?
Intravenous phenytoin can rarely cause severe conduction abnormalities such as complete atrioventricular block with ventricular asystole.
Randazzo et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Complete atrioventricular block with ventricular asystole (n=1). Intravenous phenytoin was evaluated on Complete atrioventricular block with ventricular asystole. Intravenous administration of phenytoin resulted in complete atrioventricular block with ventricular asystole in a single patient case.
