Prolonged Ventricular Asystole: A Rare Adverse Effect of Hydrocodone Use
BACKGROUND Prolonged ventricular asystole is a rare vagal reaction caused by hydrocodone use. Sinus bradycardia is a characteristic presentation of the vasovagal response; examples of other presentations include arrest or atrioventricular block. Physicians need to be aware of ventricular asystole due to vagally-mediated atrioventricular block caused by hydrocodone or other opiates. CASE REPOR...
متن کاملOn the cause of ventricular asystole during vagal stimulation.
In anesthetized dogs the vagus nerve was stimulated for 2 min; during the first minute the ventricles were driven at a rate higher than the control sinus rate; after discontinuation of the drive, the duration of asystole was prolonged. When the ventricles were driven at a rate lower than the sinus rate during vagal stimulation the subsequent asystole was shortened. Slowing sinus activity by gra...
متن کاملCirculatory dynamics and the effects of respiration during ventricular asystole in dogs with complete heart block.
• The need for a clearer understanding of the physiological changes accompanying acute ventricular asystole in complete heart block (Stokes-Adams syndrome) is especially important in view of the significant advances made in the therapy of this disorder.~ In addition, simulating this condition in the laboratory provides a unique approach to the study of eardiorespiratory dynamics and their inter...
متن کاملSpontaneously terminating ventricular fibrillation and asystole induced by silent ischaemia causing recurrent syncope.
A 57 year old man was admitted for investigation of recurrent syncopal attacks. Holter monitoring during an attack while in hospital revealed a unique sequence of gross ST segment elevation, ventricular tachycardia, prolonged ventricular fibrillation, asystole, junctional and ventricular escape rhythm, and finally spontaneous restoration of sinus rhythm with severe ST segment depression. Subseq...
متن کاملLetter by Vilke et al regarding article, "sudden cardiac arrest and death following application of shocks from a TASER electronic control device".
BACKGROUND The safety of electronic control devices (ECDs) has been questioned. The goal of this study was to analyze in detail cases of loss of consciousness associated with ECD deployment. METHODS AND RESULTS Eight cases of TASER X26 ECD-induced loss of consciousness were studied. In each instance, when available, police, medical, and emergency response records, ECD dataport interrogation, ...
