Clinical and Electrocardiographic Particularities of Nebivolol Poisoning

Unlike the third world countries, cardiotropic poisoning is a frequent reason for admission to intensive care in industrialized countries. Those with Nebivolol are poorly described in the literature. The authors report a case of Nebivolol poisoning following a therapeutic error. The clinical examination revealed arterial hypotension, a disorder of consciousness and seizures. The electrocardiogram showed QT prolongation. Treatment consisted of the administration of vasopressive amines, anticonvulsants and correction of fluid and electrolyte disorders. The evolution has been favorable.
