Abstract
A case is described in which the ingestion of 20 g quinidine produced lethargy, respiratory distress, hypotension, anuria, loss of P waves in ECG and broadening of QRS complex. The highest serum quinidine concentration was 13.5 mg/1. Vasopressor drugs were not effective in restoring BP, and hemodialysis with low concentration of potassium in dialysis fluid was done with impressive effect on the clinical state.
