Cephalothin-Induced Tachycardia Following Aortic Valve Replacement

Cephalothin-Induced Tachycardia Following Aortic Valve Replacement Prophylactic antibiotics, though routinely used by most surgeons for patients undergoing open-heart surgery, are of questionable value and may cause serious side effects. Cephalothin-sodium-induced tachycardia accompanied by hemolysis and hyperpyrexia presents problems of diagnosis. The reported patient's survival is attributed to discontinuation of the drug. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association

Abstract

Prophylactic antibiotics, though routinely used by most surgeons for patients undergoing open-heart surgery, are of questionable value and may cause serious side effects. Cephalothin-sodium-induced tachycardia accompanied by hemolysis and hyperpyrexia presents problems of diagnosis. The reported patient's survival is attributed to discontinuation of the drug.
