摘要
We observed cardiac contractility in a patient who had inadvertently received a massive overdose of potassium chloride during open heart surgery. Slowly advancing waves of contraction were present while the surface electrocardiogram showed the sine wave configuration typical of severe hyperkalemia. This is the first report of such an observation and may serve to promote proper diagnosis and treatment of similar cases.
