Abstract EN
Introduction.
Mild hypotension is a well-recognized complication of intravenous pentobarbital; however fulminant cardiopulmonary failure has not been previously reported.
Case Report.
A 28-year-old woman developed pentobarbital-induced cardiopulmonary failure that was successfully treated with maximal medical management including arteriovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.
She made an excellent cardiopulmonary and neurological recovery.
Discussion and Conclusion.
Pentobarbital is underrecognized as a potential cause of myocardial stunning.
The mechanism involves direct myocardial depression and inhibition of autonomic neuroanatomical structures including the medulla and hypothalamus.
Early recognition and implementation of aggressive cardiopulmonary support are essential to optimize the likelihood of a favorable outcome.
