Calcium channel blocker and beta blocker overdose, and digoxin toxicity management.

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. An acute overdose will require different management strategies than chronic toxicity while on therapeutic dosing. Toxicity from these agents must be considered in bradycardic and hypotensive patients. This supplement provides an evidence-based overview of emergency department management of calcium channel blocker overdose, beta blocker overdose, and digoxin toxicity, and focuses on the caveats of treatment for each.
