Severe venlafaxine poisoning successfully rescued with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: A case report
In cases of massive venlafaxine ingestion, continuous intensive monitoring, particularly of QTc, is essential for at least 24 hours, even when initial clinical signs are mild. If refractory ventricular arrhythmias occur, prompt initiation of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation should be considered.
