Background: Digoxin poisonings are relatively common and potentially fatal, requiring immediate therapeutic intervention, with special attention to the patient's hemodynamic status and the presence of electrocardiographic and electrolytic disturbances.
Objective: To identify factors associated with seven-day and thirty-day mortality in digoxin poisoning.
Design, Settings And Participants: A retrospective, observational, multicenter study was conducted across 15 Hospital Emergency Departments (HED) in Spain.
Objectives: Digoxin toxicity accounts for a small percentage of poisonings attended by emergency departments. This study aimed to describe differences between acute and chronic digoxin toxicity and assess the use of digoxin-specific antibody fragments (digoxin-Fab) as an antidote.
Material And Methods: Retrospective, observational, multicenter study in 15 hospital emergency departments in 8 Spanish autonomous communities in 7 years.
