OP-089 Acute Effects of Synthetic Cannabinoid “Bonsai” on Ventricular Repolarization




Objective


The incidence of the usage of synthetic cannabinoids (SC) have increased all over the world as well as in our country. In our study, we aimed to evaluate if bonsai cause ventricular repolarization abnormalities or not with using initial and 12th hour electrocardiogram in patients with acute toxication of ‘Bonsai’. Therefore we examined the change of QTc and cTp-e parameters to show the ventricular repolarization effects of the usage of bonsai.




Methods


A retrospective study design was used. Twenty patients included the study presenting with clouding of consciousness after the usage of bonsai to the emergency department of Bursa State Hospital. The QT,QTc,Tp-e intervals and several other electrocardiographic parameters were measured at baseline and 12 hours afterusage of ‘Bonzai’.
