How do the techniques for management of patients with calcium-channel blocker, beta blocker, and digoxin toxicity differ? Which are the most beneficial? What are the appropriate assessments, such as laboratory studies and ECG, that will best aid in diagnosis and management of patients presenting with calcium-channel blocker, beta blocker, and digoxin toxicity? How do findings in the history, such as the timing of ingestion, affect management? What are the similarities and differences in the clinical presentations of calcium-channel blocker, beta blocker, and digoxin toxicity? ![]() This supplement presents the current evidence on best practices in the diagnosis and management of CCB, beta blocker, and digoxin toxicity. Standard Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support protocols used for the resuscitation of patients in cardiac arrest may be insufficient due to the complex physiologic changes that occur with poisoning from these agents, and specialized treatments are often necessary. Identifying and treating patients exhibiting toxic effects of these agents can be complex. Toxicity from these agents must be considered in bradycardic and hypotensive patients. An acute overdose will require different management strategies than chronic toxicity while on therapeutic dosing. While relatively uncommon, an overdose of calcium-channel blockers, beta blockers, or digoxin can result in significant morbidity and mortality, and management can be complex.
