Refractory Ventricular Arrhythmia Induced by Aconite Intoxication and Its Treatment with Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Accidental poisoning with Aconitum: Case report and review of the literature

“…17 In absence of antidotes, usual management is supportive and in case of treatment failure, blood purification 18 and extracorporeal support may be beneficial. 19 Ventricular tachyarrhythmias following Aconitum poisoning are rarely responsive to lidocaine, 20,21 unlike in our case. In a recent review, Coulson et al 22 describe the management of 65 cases of probable aconitine poisoning resulting in ventricular dysrhythmias, reporting that flecainide or amiodarone seems to be more associated with a return to sinus rhythm than lidocaine and/or cardioversion.…”
