Özet
Amitriptyline is one of the major tricyclic antidepressants (TCA)
(1). Among the antidepressants, TCAs have been the most common
poisons used in suicide (2). Tricyclic antidepressants poisoning
results in hypotension, cardiac dysrhythmia, depression of the central
nervous system (CNS) and seizures, and is a major cause of death by
poisoning in the UK (3). The most common cause of death after TCA
overdose is myocardial depression with refractory hypotension,
ventricular tachycardia, or ventricular fibrillation (4). Current therapy
includes vasopressors for hypotension, sodium bicarbonate for
dysrhythmias, and benzodiazepines for seizures (3). We report a case
of a child who was successfully treated with beta-blocker in severe
amitriptyline intoxication.
