Fulminant hepatic failure in poisoning due to ingestion of T 61, a veterinary euthanasia drug.

A patient developed fulminant hepatic failure 48 h after the ingestion of T 61, a veterinary euthanasia drug which contains both general and local anesthetics, a neuromuscular blocking agent, and dimethylformamide (DMF) as a solvent. This is the first report of such severe hepatic manifestation in T 61 poisoning, the most common symptoms of which are early coma and respiratory failure due to the anesthetic and the neuromuscular blocking agent. In a very few cases mild and transitory symptoms of hepatic insufficiency have been observed. In this case the fulminant hepatic failure was due to the high dose (0.6 ml/kg) ingestion of DMF.

Left ventricular function in tetanus: influence of therapy.

Nine patients hospitalized for tetanus were studied under the same protocol which included two haemodynamic studies with a preload trial (PLT). The first being made during therapy (diazepam barbiturate association), on the sixth day of hospitalisation, and the second one after recovery. The comparison of the results shows that before PLT the mean arterial pressuure (MAP) is significantly increased (p less than 0.05) in patients after recovery in comparison to the same patients undergoing therapy. After PLT there is no significant difference between the two groups. Lastly, the variation of the left ventricular function points under PLT shows no significant difference between patients during therapy and after recovery. These results suggest that the diazepamphenobarbital combination does not alter the left ventricular function of the patients undergoing this therapy during tetanus.
