Verapamil, a calcium antagonist, has been shown to be effective in delaying death in mice after intravenous challenge with box-jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) venom. Death from a challenge of up to three mouse-lethal doses of venom was significantly delayed after the prior intravenous administration of verapamil (P = 0.003). A smaller dose of verapamil could "rescue" mice previously envenomed with 1.25 mouse-lethal doses (P = 0.0001). These data suggest that verapamil injections should be added to the first-aid procedures performed on the beach for victims of box-jellyfish stings.
维拉帕米是一种钙拮抗剂,已证明其在小鼠经箱形水母( Chironex fleckeri )毒液静脉注射攻击后可有效延缓死亡。在预先静脉注射维拉帕米后,高达三个小鼠致死剂量的毒液攻击所致的死亡显著延迟(P = 0.003)。较小剂量的维拉帕米能够 “挽救” 先前被1.25个小鼠致死剂量毒液蜇伤的小鼠(P = 0.0001)。这些数据表明,对于箱形水母蜇伤的受害者,应将维拉帕米注射添加到在海滩上进行的急救程序中。
