Anesthesia & Analgesia, 05/18/09
Mohseni K et al. - The authors present a case of accidental injection of tranexamic acid instead of bupivacaine during spinal anesthesia. One minute after intrathecal injection of 3.5 mL of solution, the patient developed myoclonus of his lower extremities. His polymyoclonus was successfully treated with phenytoin, sodium thiopental infusion, sodium valproate and supportive care of the hemodynamic, and respiratory systems. The patient’s condition progressively improved to full recovery.
