Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia and Seizures With Lacosamide Overdose
Abstract (VSports app下载)
We describe a 60-year-old female patient who suffered an apparently intentional overdose of lacosamide and who developed status epilepticus secondary to its toxicity, complicated by refractory ventricular arrhythmia necessitating advanced cardiac life support and percutaneous stellate ganglion blockade VSports手机版. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation was considered, and arterial and venous small-bore sheaths were placed in order to allow for extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation if cardiac arrest recurred, but they were not ultimately used. She suffered an embolic left middle cerebral artery stroke but otherwise recovered from the episode. This eventful clinical course highlights the dangers of lacosamide in high doses. .
