Intravenous fat emulsion to reverse haemodynamic instability from intentional amitriptyline overdose
Abstract
We report the first case of amitriptyline toxicity treated with intravenous fat emulsion (IFE). Toxicity was manifested as vasopressor-refractory haemodynamic instability despite standard therapy. Our patient recovered with no adverse effects noted.
