Core Tip
Core Tip: A patient poisoned by aconitine was treated with detoxification therapy under Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) support and made a full recovery. VA-ECMO can stabilize the hemodynamics of patients poisoned by drugs, providing a therapeutic opportunity for toxin elimination and the recovery of spontaneous cardiac activity and vital signs. We believe that VA-ECMO is an effective method for treating malignant arrhythmias caused by drug poisoning, which can reduce the risk of patient mortality. VA-ECMO is an effective method for treating malignant arrhythmias caused by drug poisoning.
