Abstract

Calcium channel blockers are drugs used in hypertension, arrhythmia and coronary heart diseases by blocking L type calcium channels. At high concentrations, calcium channels are blocked and calcium entry from L type channels is totally prevented.. In our study, we aimed to present the changes and the treatment approaches for the hospitalization period of a patient who applied to the emergency unit following the intake of high dose of calcium channel blocker, until the discharge.

Abstract

Kalsiyum kanal blokeri; hipertansiyon, aritmi ve koroner kalp hastalıklarında kullanılan, hücre zarında bulunan L tipi kalsiyum kanallarını bloke eden ilaçlardır. Yüksek konsantrasyonlarda kalsiyum kanalları bloke olur ve L tipi kanallardan kalsiyum girişi tamamen engellenir. Yazımızda yüksek doz kalsiyum kanal blokeri alım sonrasında acil servise başvuran hastanın taburculuğuna kadar olan dönemdeki klinik durumundaki değişimler ve tedavi yaklaşımlarının sunulması amaçlanmıştır.

Keywords
