Özet

Paracetamol (also known as Acetaminophen) is an antipyretic, non-opioid analgesic, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and is one of the most commonly used medications worldwide. In recent years, IV paracetamol has been frequently used in hospitalized patients to reduce fever and pain. Significant adverse reactions associated with intravenous paracetamol are extremely rare. Typically reported adverse events include hypotension, malaise, hypersensitivity reaction, liver enzyme elevation, and thrombocytopenia. We present herein a case of IV paracetamol infusion-related severe hypotension and cardiac arrest.
