Incidence of electrocardiographic and electrolyte changes in acute oleander poisoning in humans: A systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

ABSTRACT: Yellow oleander (Cascabela thevetia, previously known as Thevetia peruviana) & Common oleander (Nerium oleander) contain a wide range of cardiac glycosides and their toxicity is similar to digoxin toxicity. It causes arrhythmogenesis by directly and indirectly influencing cardiac myocytes. Oleander poisoning leads to high morbidity and mortality, causing considerable healthcare burden worldwide. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to synthesize evidence from studies reporting the effects of electrocardiographic and biochemical changes following acute oleander toxicity. It will contribute to identifying the true incidence of electrocardiographic and electrolyte changes which will be useful in-patient management and clinical decisions.
