Abstract:
A 1-month-old infant suffered cardiac arrest shortly after presentation to the emergency department. The child had a history of heart disease treated with digoxin. The infant died despite intensive resuscitative efforts, including the use of digoxin-specific Fab antibodies. A brief discussion of this case and the use of digoxin-specific antibodies is presented.
