Abstract:
A report is presented on two cases of lethal intoxication with lidocain. One death occurred after paracervical anesthesia for legal abortion and the other after accidental oral administration. In three instances intoxication occurred during intensive care for ventricular arrhythmia. Immediate therapy in these cases led to rapid and complete recovery. The clinical signs of lidocain, intoxication are discussed and appropriate treatment for prevention of lethal complications is outlined.
