One case report and literature review of arrhythmia caused by pituitrin

Arrhythmias are perceived as a complication of pituitrin. However, injecting a standard dose of pituitrin via vein causes different arrhythmias. In our case, a 35‐year‐old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to a productive cough with sputum for 5 days and two occasions of massive hemopt...

Description
Summary:Arrhythmias are perceived as a complication of pituitrin. However, injecting a standard dose of pituitrin via vein causes different arrhythmias. In our case, a 35‐year‐old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to a productive cough with sputum for 5 days and two occasions of massive hemoptysis. After 1 day of treatment using 500 ml normal saline with 10u pituitrin, the sputum was filled with small amounts of kermesinus bloodstains. When pituitrin was stopped without any other treatment, all presenting symptoms gradually subsided after half an hour, and the ECG returned to normal. Therefore, when treating massive hemoptysis by administering pituitrin intravenously, it is necessary to exercise great precaution and therapeutic measures. A 35‐year‐old female patient was admitted due to a productive cough with sputum and massive hemoptysis. The use of pituitrin for 1 day induced a Wenckebach atrioventricular block and the symptoms returned to normal after discontinuation.
