Severe toxicity leads to coma, profound hypotension, bradycardia, and asystolic arrest. |

A 74-year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease was found in asystolic arrest and was brought to the emergency department at this hospital. |
|
At first, he was asystolic — no heart rhythm on the monitor — and then the rhythm came back, but he had no pulse. |
|
He notes that the increased myocardial oxygen consumption occurring with epinephrine may have harmful effects in patients with asystolic cardiac arrest. |
|
Despite what you might have seen on TV hospitable dramas, when the heart goes all asystolic no amount of defibrillator action is going to chase away the reaper. |
|
He was detached from the ventilator and then bradycardic til asystolic. |
