Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To summarize general regularity and characteristics of amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity,and to provide reference for rational use of amiodarone and avoiding the occurrence of ADR. METHODS:Retrieved from CNKI,VIP and Wanfang database,individual case report literatures about amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity were collected during 1990-2016. The included cases were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:A total of 19 related literatures were collected,involving 20 cases of amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity. Among them,the patients older than 60 years old accounted for 75.0% with ratio of male to female 3:1. 75.0% patients had used medicine more than 1 month when pulmonary toxicity occurred. The dose of amiod-arone in 17 patients ranged 200-400 mg/d. Six patients died,accounting for 30.0%. CONCLUSIONS:Pulmonary toxicity induced by amiodarone may be related to patients'gender,age,dose and medication time. The mortality of it is in relative high level. Med-ical staff should pay attention to it,regularly monitor and process it timely.
