Vasoconstriction occurs and peripheral resistance increases, which in turn increases SBP and DBP. If BP increases significantly, NE may cause reflector bradycardia barrorecoptor reflex - SBP Isoprenaline - Mean BP β1=β2 - DBP Epinephrine increases SBP in a dose-dependent manner, but DBP can be increased or decreased. In contrast, isoprenaline always reduces DBP. Increased heart rate increases SBP. The effect on DBP is dependent on the stimulation of the α1- and β2-adrenoceptors, which promote vasoconstriction or vasodilation. Low doses of E lead to more pronounced stimulation of β2 receptors than α1 receptors, particularly in skeletal muscle blood vessels, thereby causing vasodilation and reducing DBP. Higher doses of E cause generalized vasoconstriction throughout the body and can increase both DBP and SBP.

Limb freezing! RSU Department of Pharmacology 22 2022/2023  BB toxicology Mechanism of toxicity All beta blockers antagonize beta1 adrenoreceptors, decreasing heart rate and cardiac contractility. Some nonselective beta blockers also antagonize beta2 receptors, which can result in bronchoconstriction, hypoglycemia, and hyperkalemia. Propranolol with membrane depressant effects further depress myocardial contractility and conduction and may be associated with ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Propranolol is also lipid soluble, which enhances brain penetration and can cause seizures and coma. Carvedilol have combined nonselective beta and alpha adrenergic– blocking actions, and nebivolol is a selective beta1 antagonist with vasodilating properties not mediated by alpha blockade. With these drugs, direct vasodilation can contribute to hypotension in overdose. RSU Farmakoloģijas katedra 23 2022/2023  BB toxicology Clinical presentation A. Cardiac disturbances, including first degree heart block, hypotension, and bradycardia, are the most common manifestations of poisoning. Highdegree atrioventricular block, intraventricular conduction disturbances, cardiogenic shock, and asystole may occur with severe overdose, especially with membranedepressant drugs such as propranolol. The ECG usually shows a normal QRS duration with increased PR intervals, but QRS widening can occur with membrane depressant beta blocker intoxication. B. Central nervous system toxicity, including convulsions, coma, and respiratory arrest, is commonly seen with propranolol and other membranedepressant and lipidsoluble drugs. C. Bronchospasm is most common in patients ingesting nonselective beta blockers and with preexisting asthma or chronic bronchospastic disease. D. Hypoglycemia and hyperkalemia may sometimes occur. RSU Farmakoloģijas katedra 24 2022/2023  BB toxicology Treatment Emergency and supportive measures 1. Maintain an open airway and assist ventilation if necessary. 2. Treat coma, seizures, hypotension, hyperkalemia, and hypoglycemia if they occur. 3. Atropine, IV, may be ineffective as beta blocker–associated bradycardia is not due to increased vagal tone. Cardiac pacing may also be tried. 4. Treat bronchospasm with nebulized bronchodilators. 5. Continuously monitor the vital signs and ECG RSU Farmakoloģijas katedra 25 2022/2023  BB toxicology Treatment Specific drugs and antidotes 1. Give glucagon IV over 1–2 minutes for bradycardia resistant to basic supportive measures and repeat as needed. 2. Administer calcium chloride IV, or calcium gluconate IV, and repeat as needed. Calcium may reverse beta blocker–associated depression of cardiac contractility but does not affect sinus node depression or peripheral vasodilation, and has variable effects on AV nodal conduction. 3. Highdose insulin euglycemic therapy (HIET) 4. Give sodium bicarbonate, for wide complex QRS conduction delay and associated hypotension caused by membrane depressant beta blocker poisoning (eg, propranolol). 5. Vasopressors are often needed to manage shock from beta blocker overdose. Extraordinarily high doses may be required for refractory shock; however, ischemia (eg, limb or bowel) is a potential complication. Epinephrine (IV infusion) may be useful.
