Propranolol and sotalol overdose can produce life-threatening cardiovascular toxicity. Toxicity / Risk Assessment Management - Treat ↓BP in graduated, but aggressive manner. Early echocardiogram may guide Rx Onset of effects occur within 1-2 hours Bradycardia Onset of effects for Metoprolol MR may be delayed Atropine: 0.6 mg IV boluses q5 minutely up to 3 doses (child 0.02 mg/kg boluses) Ingestion > 1 g Propranolol may cause significant toxicity, Isoprenaline: 20 mcg IV, repeat to clinical response (up to 100 mcg, via peripheral line) OR usually within 6 hours epinephrine infusion titrated to response. Electrical pacing is the definitive treatment Lone ingestion of other BB: significant toxicity unlikely Hypotension Likelihood of toxicity increases with: underlying CVS Fluid: Initially load with 10-20 mL/kg IV crystalloid. Further IV fluid may lead to pulmonary oedema disease, elderly, co-ingestion of other –ve inotropes (CCBs) High Dose Insulin-Euglycaemia Therapy (HIET): HIET is most effective if commenced early No medical treatment required if patient is well AND has - 50 mL of 50% dextrose as slow IV bolus FOLLOWED BY 1 unit/kg IV actrapid bolus normal ECG 6 hours post ingestion - Commence 1 unit/kg/hour actrapid infusion. Titrate to effect up to 10 units/kg/hour over first hour Clinical features: - Closely monitor serum glucose and K⁺ - CVS: ↓HR and ↓BP. Norepinephrine infusion ↑PR may be first sign of CVS toxicity. Mechanical: consider early IABP or Extra-Corporeal Life Support (ECLS) interventions in severe cases Increasing AV block progressing to complete heart block, Wide QRS and Na channel blockade (propranolol OD is managed as a TCA antidepressant OD) CVS collapse, pulmonary oedema. - Bolus dose – 1 mL/kg 8.4% NaHCO3 solution as slow (2 minutes) IV push - Other: ↓glucose, ↑K⁺ - Repeat bolus doses q5minute to rapidly acquire pH in 7.50-7.55 range. Maintain with hyperventilation - Sotalol: ↑QT, ↓HR, TdP Management of ↑ QT Interval – CVS monitor +maintain normal serum Ca 2+ ,K + , Mg 2+ concentrations - Propranolol: ↑QRS, ventricular arrhythmias, delirium, Management of TdP coma, seizures - MgSO4 10 mmol (2 grams) as IV push (if pulseless: electrical defibrillation) - Maintain HR > 80 bpm with isoprenaline/epinephrine or with electrical pacing AUSTIN CLINICAL TOXICOLOGY SERVICE GUIDELINE POISONS INFORMATION CENTRE: 13 11 26 Beta Blockers (BB) Version 1: Published 7/2017.
