THE ROLE OF ANTIDOTES !
![Page 5: Antidotes in the Emergency Department](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/5871a5cf1a28abda6a8b4797/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Antidotes !correct the effects of
poisoning!
![Page 6: Antidotes in the Emergency Department](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/5871a5cf1a28abda6a8b4797/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Antidote use is based on !risk-benefit analysis
![Page 7: Antidotes in the Emergency Department](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/5871a5cf1a28abda6a8b4797/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Antidotes should !generally be!
titrated to effect

Consider transporting the antidote not the patient

Know the key antidotes for cardiotoxic overdoses
![Page 23: Antidotes in the Emergency Department](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051404/5871a5cf1a28abda6a8b4797/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
resuscitating these patients, such as toxin redistribu-tion, enterohepatic recirculation and haemodialysis.These should ideally be considered in consultationwith a toxicologist. A flowchart representation of theextra-ordinary resuscitative measures in toxic cardiacarrest (or intractable drug-induced hypotension) isillustrated in Figure 1.
Prolonged resuscitation
Survival with completely normal neurological functionfollowing prolonged resuscitation in poisoned patientshas been reported, particularly in previously healthypatients.3,10–12 Continuing cardiac massage and promot-
ing end-organ perfusion until the toxin is clearedor redistributed from the intra-vascular compartmentand high blood flow organs allows the myocardiumto recover from temporary dysfunction related toextremely high myocardial tissue concentrations of therespective toxin.13 This has been reported particularly intricyclic antidepressant poisoning but might also betrue for b-receptor antagonist and calcium channelantagonist toxicity as well. Just as prolonged CPR isrecommended in hypothermic patients, it might be simi-larly warranted in toxic cardiac arrest, potentially for upto 4 h. Younger patients with no pre-existing medicalconditions might have a higher likelihood of survivalto hospital discharge and good neurologic outcome
Toxic cardiac arrest (or shock)
Early aggressive resuscitation:• ABC & ACLS protocols• Large bore intravenous access• Crystalloid fluid bolus/catecholamines• Early ECHO: pump vs vasoplegia• Consult Poisons Centre/Toxicologist
BB/CCB NCBD (or WCT) Antidoted toxin* LA agent
HIE NaHCO3 Antidote ILE
Consider:• Other Inotropes• ECMO• Haemodialysis• IABP• Cardiac pacing• Vasopressin/4-AP• ILE for lipophilic
All patients:• Optimise electrolytes
• ILE for lipophiliccardiac toxin
•• Maintain euglycaemia• Consider prolonged resuscitation• Maintain communication with
Poisons Centre/Toxicologist

Antidotes are rarely used but can have an important
role
