Abstract:
Barium carbonate poisoning is mostly caused by mistaken ingestion in clinical cases, and self-administration of poisoning is rare. In November 2020, Tianjin Occupational Disease Prevention Hospital admitted a patient with severe hypokalemia complicated with arrhythmia after taking poison. It is very important to take timely and effective potassium supplementation, symptomatic and detoxification treatment in the course of treatment. At the same time, closely observing the changes of vital signs and taking quick and accurate rescue measures in the event of malignant arrhythmia are the keys to ensuring the success of rescue. In this paper, the clinical data of the case were retrospectively analyzed, providing reference for the diagnosis and treatment of similar clinical cases.
