Cardiac Arrest Following Inadvertent Intravenous Administration of an Oral Antiacid: Hydrotalcite
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 35
Abstract
Emergency department overcrowding combined with shortage of experienced and knowledgeable healthcare staff may lead to fatal, albeit rare, malpractice cases in developing countries. We report herein a patient with cardiac arrest as a result of inadvertent intravenous injection of hydrotalcite, an orally administered anti-acid medication. Our literature search revealed no previous cases of cardiac arrest as a result of intravenous (IV) administration of hydrotalcite.
