Abstract

During healthcare practice, nursing professionals use a wide variety of drugs with different properties and adverse effects. In this article, we have wanted to focus on those drugs that generate a QT prolongation, and especially in those patients with a Long QT Syndrome, the administration of which can give rise in many cases to the appearance of arrhythmias such as Torsade de Pointes.

Keywords:

Torsade de Pointes; channelopathies; medication errors; patient safety
