delamanidtuberculosisBedaquiline and delamanid used to treat extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis are known to cause prolonged QTc. Two children with extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis were put on bedaquiline and delamanid and had prolonged QTc on the Bazett formula but normal QTc by the Fridericia...
If the patient has a prolonged QTc at baseline (>450 ms in men and >460 ms in women in the absence of interventricular conduction defects), it is important to try to avoid all QT-prolonging medications.47 Although this is not an absolute contraindication to starting QT-prolonging drugs, ...

He developed palpitations and weakness 45 minutes after receiving ziprasidone. His QT interval was prolonged on ECG and returned to baseline after 72 hours. They concluded that performing an ECG before ziprasidone dosing should be considered.Sanaei-Zadeh,H.The American journal of emergency medicine...
Perioperative Torsade de Pointes (TdP) is a potentially fatal arrhythmia. The association between the prolongation of corrected QT (QTc) interval and TdP has been well described, but prolonged QTc interval is likely not to be a sole determinant. The transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) ...
Since the use of mu receptor agonists are considered to be causative in urinary retention with the use of opioids, another option is switching to nalbuphine, which results in decreased symptoms of urinary retention while allowing for pain control and seems to be a better option than the use of...
