  • Abstract
    A case of chloral hydrate overdose causing resistant ventricular arrhythmias is presented. Our case and other case reports suggest that chloral hydrate-induced arrhythmias are resistant to standard antiarrhythmic agents and that intravenous beta blockers should be the firstline treatment for these arrhythmias.
