Fluoroacetamide poisoning in man: the role of ionized calcium.

Abstract
Two cases are reported of severe acute fluoroacetamide poisoning in man, with successful treatment of the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias by the administration of calcium chloride. The arrhythmias were preceded by prolongation of the QT interval in the ECG. Calcium chloride therapy restored to normal the markedly prolonged QT interval.
