Abstract

Overdoses of amitriptyline in children are one of the most common drug poisinings applied to emergency rooms. Amitriptyline poisining causes several important problems because of its adverse effects affecting various body systems and may be life-threatening. Generally death is related to cardiovascular system involvement. In the present report, a case with no QRS change in the ECG and no cardiac involvement despite amitriptyline overdose ingestion was presented.

Özet

Çocuklarda amitriptilin ile zehirlenme acil servise en çok başvurulan zehirlenmelerden biridir. Amitriptilin zehirlenmesi, çeşitli sistemleri etkileyen yan etkileri nedeniyle önemli sorunlara yol açmakta ve hayatı tehdit edebilmektedir. Genellikle ölüm sebebi kardiyak etkilenmeye bağlı olmaktadır. Bu yazıda, yüksek dozda amitriptilin almasına rağmen EKG’de QRS değişikliği göstermeyen ve kardiyak etkilenmenin olmadığı bir olgu sunulmaktadır.
