Abstract

A 43-year-old woman experienced hypotension after overdosing on verapamil. She had a medical history of bipolar and personality disorder and was admitted to the hospital with an overdose of verapamil. She required mechanical support with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) due to profound vasoplegic shock. The woman also had severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction and received impella for left ventricular venting. After a multidisciplinary discussion, her treatment was upgraded to a VA-V configuration, which resulted in an improvement in her condition. [Extracted from the article]
