| dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Tricyclic antidepressant overdoses are a common presenting problem to emergency centres in South Africa. Case history: A 20-year-old female was brought to the emergency centre in status epilepticus due to tricyclic antidepressant toxicity. Discussion: Toxicity was manifested as severe haemodynamic instability that did not respond to standard therapy, and was subsequently treated with intravenous fat emulsion (ILE) therapy. The patient recovered with a survival to hospital discharge, neurologically intact. | |
