Abstract

A case of diltiazem overdose with significant hemodynamic compromise is presented. Multiple therapeutic modalities were attempted with limited results. Control was finally achieved with a combination of norepinephrine, dobutamine, and cardiac pacing. Invasive pulmonary monitoring parameters are reported and were important in the management of this patient. The management of calcium channel blocker overdose and the various available therapeutic modalities are discussed.
