Abstract

A one month old child inadvertently received an intravenous bolus injection of 50 mg of lidocaine instead of contrast iodine. The clinical picture comprised collapse, respiratory arrest, convulsions and coma. The calculated maximum level of lidocaine was 5.39 mg/l. The recovery was complete. The toxicity of lidocaine is discussed.
