Treatment of Severe Carbamazepine Intoxication with Intravenous Lipid Emulsion Therapy

Carbamazepine (CBZ) is a widely prescribed anticonvulsant agent. It is used in treatment of epilepsy including general tonic-clonic, simple partial and complex partial seizures, neuropathicpains, especially in trigeminalneuralgia, central diabetes insipidus, attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorders and bipolar disorders. CBZ overdose is usually associated with cardiac, neurologic and respi...

Tissue plasminogen activator in cardiac arrest with pulseless electrical activity.

BACKGROUND Coronary thrombosis and pulmonary thromboembolism are common causes of cardiac arrest. We assessed whether the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation would benefit patients with cardiac arrest and pulseless electrical activity of unknown or presumed cardiovascular cause. METHODS Patients who were older than 16 years of age and who...

Delayed-onset seizure and cardiac arrest after amitriptyline overdose, treated with intravenous lipid emulsion therapy.

In recent years, intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) therapy has emerged as a new rescue antidote for treatment of certain toxicities, including cyclic antidepressants, and as the primary treatment of toxic manifestations after local anesthetic exposure. We present a case of a 13-year-old girl who developed delayed seizures and cardiac arrest after amitriptyline ingestion. As part of the treatment...
