BETA BLOCKER TOXICITY
OBJECTIVES
• Review of Beta receptors• Epidemiology• Toxicology• Clinical S/Sx/WU• Treatment
BETA RECEPTORS
• B1:• Heart Muscle• inc. HR, contractility, AV conduction
• B2:• Smooth Muscle (lungs, peripheral vasculature), Heart• vasodilation, bronchodilation
• B3:• Adipose Tissue, Heart• cat. Thermogenesis?, dec. contractility?
EPIDEMIOLOGY
• 2006: • 9041 BB exposures reported to poison centers• 613 moderate-major adverse outcomes• 4 deaths
• Often associated with polyingestion• DDX: CaChB, Digoxin, Clonidine, Cholinergics
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
• Direct Beta Blockade• All BBs
• Membrane Stabilizing Activity (MSA):• Propanolol, Acebutolol• Fast Na Channel Inhibition (Heart) wide QRS
• Lipophilicity:• Propanolol• Cross BBB into CNS sz, delirium
• Intrinsic Sympathomimetic Activity (ISA):• Partial B agonist activity less pronounced Sx

PROPANOLOL:
• Nonselective beta blocker• High MSA• Lipophilic• Rec. Dose in Thyroid Storm: 1-3mg IVP x1• Rec. Dose for Tachyarrythmia: 1-3mg IVP, MR x1• Half Life: 3-6hr, Duration 6-12hr• Metabolism: Liver
CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS
• Sx within 6 hours of Ingestion• Hypotension• Bradycardia• SHOCK• Arrythmias• Neuro: sz, delirium, coma• Bronchospasm• Hypoglycemia
WORKUP:
• Get good ingestion history• H&P• LABS:• BB screen/levels• Glucose• Chemistries• Other ingestion labs (APAP, ASA, etc)
• STUDIES:• EKG• CXR
TREATMENT: THE BASICS
1. ABCs!!!!2. Hypotension IVF, Pressors (more on this in a minute)3. Bradycardia Atropine 0.5-1mg Q3-5min4. Hypoglycemia D505. Seizures Benzos
TREATMENT: BEYOND THE BASICS
GLUCAGON• Activates adenylyl cyclase increased CAMP increased
Ca available for muscle contraction• 5mg IV x1, MR x1 to assess for VS improvement• If successful, start a 2-5mg/hr gtt• SE: Vomiting• NO GOOD DATA IN PEOPLE (just some in animals)
CALCIUM• CaCl 1g IVP (max: 3g) OR CaGlc 1g IV (max: 3g)• Increase inotropy• DATA: Case reports only
TREATMENT: BEYOND THE BASICS II
PRESSORS:• Stimulate receptors to increase CAMP inotropy• No good data, but recommended if necessary to maintain
MAPs• Competitive Inhibition
PDE INHIBITORS:• Milrinone, Inamrinone• Inhibit CAMP breakdown by PDE• Data: isolated case reports only (although our patient did
well!!)• SE: GI, Hypotension, Arrythmias
TREATMENT: BEYOND THE BASICS III
HDIDK (high dose insulin w/ dextrose and K):• Last line of defense at this point as data is preliminary
(some good data with CaChB overdose)• BBs inhibit pancreatic insulin release less glucose
available in muscle cells for energy extraction• Correct hypoglycemia first!!!
