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...
متن کاملBeta-blockers for the prevention of sudden cardiac death in heart failure patients: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
BACKGROUND In many studies, beta-blockers have been shown to decrease sudden cardiac death (SCD) in heart failure patients; other studies reported mixed results. Recently, several large randomized control trials of beta blockers have been carried out. It became necessary to conduct a systematic review to provide an up-to-date synthesis of available data. METHODS We conducted a meta-analysis o...
متن کاملIs there still a place for beta-blockers in perioperative cardioprotection?
Cardiovascular complications, such as hypertension or hypotension, myocardial infarction, left ventricular failure with pulmonary oedema, arrhythmias or stroke, comprise a substantial part of postoperative complications. It is estimated that they can occur approximately in one of ten patients (1). Not only they prolong the length of stay in hospital and increase costs of treatment but also have...
متن کاملCan an Academic Health Care System Overcome Barriers to Clinical Guideline Implementation?
While cardiovascular complications remain a leading cause of perioperative morbidity and mortality, studies have shown that prophylactic beta-blocker therapy can reduce the incidence of ischemia, myocardial infarction (MI), and cardiac death. Consensus guidelines and the publication of a recent meta-analysis support the use of perioperative beta-blockade in patients who are at risk for adverse ...
متن کاملPredictors of cardiac events after major vascular surgery: Role of clinical characteristics, dobutamine echocardiography, and beta-blocker therapy.
CONTEXT Patients who undergo major vascular surgery are at increased risk of perioperative cardiac complications. High-risk patients can be identified by clinical factors and noninvasive cardiac testing, such as dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE); however, such noninvasive imaging techniques carry significant disadvantages. A recent study found that perioperative beta-blocker therapy redu...
