Stir Fry with a Side of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygen: Management of Cardiogenic Shock Secondary to Unintentional Aconitine Ingestion
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Plant exposures leading to systemic or topical toxicity are common presentations seen in the emergency department. While often nonfatal, certain highly toxic plants result in cardiovascular or respiratory failure requiring invasive management. We describe a 65-y-old patient who presented with a refractory ventricular dysrhythmia secondary to an unintentional ingestion of an aconitine-containing plant after incorrect identification. Despite aggressive treatment with vasopressors, intravenous fluids, antiarrhythmics, as well as electrolyte correction and multiple attempted synchronized cardioversions, the patient remained in a refractory dysrhythmia with cardiogenic shock. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygen (ECMO) therapy was initiated successfully and resulted in rapid resolution of the unstable dysrhythmia. The patient was weaned from ECMO in under 48 h and was discharged without neurological or cardiovascular sequelae. This case highlights management options available to clinicians who encounter toxicity associated with aconitine ingestion. Fatal consequences were averted, and caution is required with the use of plant-identifying applications and resources.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
