title: [A case of aconitine poisoning saved with cardiopulmonary bypass].
abstract: "Torikabuto" is a kind of plant which contains deadly poison. Its ingredient is aconitine alkaloids. We report a case of aconitine poisoning with fatal arrhythmia and acute pulmonary edema who was saved with cardio pulmonary bypass. A 41-year-old male ate to mistake "Torikabuto" for wild plant. He developed symptoms of dysarthria and admitted to our hospital. He developed ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation soon after his admission. Then he developed cardiogenic shock. He was resuscitated and supported with a percutaneous cardio pulmonary bypass. Ventricular tachycardia disappeared 24 hours after admittion. About 1 week later, cardio pulmonary bypass was terminated and about 3 months later, he discharged from our hospital.
