title: Common yew intoxication: a case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Taxine alkaloids cause fatal poisoning, in particular due to the compound's toxic effect on the cardiovascular apparatus.
  
  
  METHODS
  We describe the case of a 39-year-old Caucasian man with common yew intoxication for whom cardiopulmonary resuscitation using all available methods, although delayed and extended, was successful.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Extended and delayed cardiopulmonary resuscitation can be used successfully to treat common yew intoxication.
