Year 2011, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 47 - 49, 01.04.2011

Abstract

Poisonings are constituted a substantial part of the emergency department. Combined use of antihypertensive drugs in the treatment of essential hypertension is common. Using of these drugs for suicide does not seen so common. One of these combined drugs which are used in clinic is Angiotension Converting Enzyme inhibitors and calcium channel blockers. Sinus bradycardia, severe hypotension an AV blocks can be seen due to excessive using of these drugs. More serious outcome may occur if these conditions do not treated immediately. In this study, we aim at discussing the case of 17-year-old patient in the light literature, who took 13 units of Tarka ® forte tablets (240 mg + 4 mg Verapamil Trandolapril) in order to commit suicide and applied to our emergency department with AV complete block development of the syncope

Sabit Dozlu Kombine Antihipertansif Ajanlarla Zehirlenme: Olgu Sunumu

Year 2011, Volume: 2 Issue: 2, 47 - 49, 01.04.2011

Abstract

Zehirlenmeler acil servis başvurularının önemli bir kısmını
oluşturmaktadır. Kombine antihipertansif ilaçların esansiyel hipertansiyon tedavisinde kullanımı yaygınlaşmaktadır, ancak bu ilaçların intihar
amaçlı aşırı alımı sık görülmemektedir. Kombine tedavi seçeneklerden
biri de anjiotensin konverting enzim inhibitörleri ve kalsiyum kanal
blokerleridir. Bu ilaçların aşırı alımına bağlı sinus bradikardisi, ciddi
hipotansiyon ve AV bloklar görülebilir. Bunlar zamanında ve etkin
şekilde tedavi edilmezse ciddi sonuçlar ortaya çıkabilir. Bu çalışmada,
Tarka forte tablet® (240 mg Verapamil + 4 mg Trandolapril) adlı ilaçtan
13 adet özkıyım amaçlı alan, AV tam blok gelişen ve senkop nedeniyle acil servisimize başvuran 17 yaşında bir hastanın literatür ışığında
tartışılması amaçlanmıştır.
