متن کاملBeta-Blocker Overdose Treated with Extended Duration High Dose Insulin Therapy
Poisoning and overdose of beta-blockers may be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Management is often complicated by failure of initial first-line interventions in severe ingestions. High-dose insulin, or hyperinsulinemia/euglycemia therapy has been well described in calcium channel blocker overdose as well as mixed ingestions of calcium channeland betablocker agents. The data...
متن کاملA multifaceted approach to calcium channel blocker overdose: a case report and literature review
