Anafilaktik Reaksiyonda Epinefrin Aşırı Dozuna Bağlı Miyokard Enfarktüsü

Epinefrin anafilaktik reaksiyonun tedavisinde sıklıkla kullanılan bir ajandır. Anafilaktik reaksiyonlarda epinefrin kullanımına bağlı göğüs ağrısı, miyokardiyal enfarktüs ve aritmi olabileceği bildirilmiştir. Biz bu makalede ciddi anafilaksisi olan bir hastada, subkutan olarak order edilen ancak yanlışlıkla intravenöz olarak uygulalan epinefrinin neden olduğu miyokardiyal enfarktüsü sunduk.

Myocardial Infarction Related With Epinephrine Overdose In Anaphylaxis

Epinephrine is an agent which is often used in the treatment of anaphylactic reaction. It has been reported that chest pain, myocardial infarction and arrhythmia may occur secondary to epinephrine use in anaphylactic reactions. In this report, we presented a case with anaphylaxis who developed myocardial infarction secondary to epinephrine, which was ordered to be administered subcutaneously but administered intravenously by mistake.
