Article Synopsis
- Diphenhydramine toxicity is characterized by anticholinergic effects, and while most cases are treated supportively, some may present with severe symptoms like wide complex tachycardia due to sodium channel blockage.
- In addition to sodium bicarbonate for treatment, lidocaine and hypertonic saline can be used if arrhythmias do not respond.
- A case study details a 30-year-old woman who experienced seizures and cardiovascular collapse after diphenhydramine ingestion, showing significant improvement after the administration of intravenous fat emulsion, despite its rare report in sole diphenhydramine cases.
