Abstract

Acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning (AOPP) is a common critical illness observed in clinical practice, and severe AOPP can cause serious cardiac toxicity. This patient was a 43-year-old woman who was admitted to the emergency department with acute respiratory failure and hypotension 13 hours after oral consumption of 300 mL of phoxim pesticide. Acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning, cardiogenic shock. We conducted veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) therapy as the patient did not respond to conventional measures. This patient was successfully rescued with VA-ECMO therapy and discharged. We suggest that for patients with severe myocardial injury complicated with cardiogenic shock caused by AOPP, the use of VA-ECMO therapy can improve the prognosis.

Cardiotoxicity

Cardiotoxicity refers to the muscle damage or dysfunction of heart electrophysiology caused by drug intake or due to disease complications. It is a well-known side effect of several cytotoxic drugs, especially of the anthracyclines and can lead to long term morbidity. Here is the latest research.

Cardiogenic Shock

Cardiogenic shock is a devastating consequence of acute myocardial infarction and is associated with an extremely high mortality. Here is the latest research.
