A multifaceted approach to calcium channel blocker overdose: a case report and literature review

Severe Overdose of Calcium Channel Blocker and Successful Management: A Literature Review and Case Report

Lipid Rescue Therapy and High-Dose insulin Euglycemic Therapy are Effective for Severe Refractory Calcium Channel Blocker Overdose: Case Report and Review of Literature

Background: High-Dose Insulin Euglycemic Therapy (HIET) and Lipid Rescue Therapy (LRT) are new alternative treatments for acute poisoning with calcium channel blockers. In this report a severely poisoned patient with verapamil and furosemide who was successfully treated with these two treatments is presented. Case report: A 27-year-old woman was brought to “Mother Theresa” Clinical Center in Sk...

Hyperinsulinemic Euglycemia and Intravenous Lipid Emulsion Treatments for Calcium Channel Blocker and Beta Blocker Poisoning: A Report of Two Cases

Poisoning with calcium channel blockers and beta blockers are associated with high mortality and morbidity rates, especially in children. Treatment of poisoning with these drugs includes administration of atropine, glucagon, calcium and inotropic agents as clinically needed; and newer approaches like hyperinsulinemic euglycemia and intravenous lipid emulsion therapies. We herein present two ref...

Calcium Channel Blocker (amlodepine) Poisioning Managed by Hyperinsulinemic Euglycemic Therapy--a Case Report and Review of Literature

Amlodepine poisioning is rare. Amlodepine toxicity presents as hypotension, pulmonary oedema both cardiogenic and non-cardiogenic. Standard approaches to the management of calcium channel blocker overdoses, including fluid resuscitation, gut decontamination, administration of calcium, as well as supportive care, are often ineffective. pWe report a case of amlodepine poisioning with acute respir...

Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema complicating massive diltiazem overdose.

Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema has not been previously described in calcium channel blocker overdose. We describe a case of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema occurring during the course of therapy for massive diltiazem overdose in a young patient with anorexia nervosa. Review of the current literature suggests that major and minor pulmonary complications occur with some frequency in the setting ...
