Physiology of Children
• GI– Lower hepatic glycogen reserves– Limited enzymatic capacity– pH and motility– Chew or bite tablets altering absorption
Physiology of Children
• Respiratory– Diminished reserves
• Metabolic– Increased requirements
Management Limitations
• No confirmatory assay– Qualitative– Quantitative
• Delayed onset toxicity
Limitations
• Therapeutic interventions
– No antidote
– Variable outcomes
– Limited data in children
Pharmacology of CCA
• Most tablets exclusively dosed for adults
• Often slow release
• Hepatically metabolized
Calcium Channels
• L type: Myocardium, sm mm, ß Islet pancreas

CCA: Dihyrdopyridines
Smooth mm: peripheral vasodilation– In mild overdose:
• Hypotension• Tachycardia
– In children and severe OD• Hypotension • Bradycardia
CCA: Verapamil, CardizemPhenylalkylamines
• Greater binding at myocardial cells– Negative inotrope– Negative chronotrope
• Inhibit release of insulin in overdose
CCA: Management
• Assume ingestion
• Assess early/late or imminent*
• IV, ECG, monitoring
*Fingerstick blood glucose?
Decontamination
• Activated charcoal: 1 gm/kg
• MDAC: 0.5 gm/kg q4
• Whole bowel irrigation?
Fellowship Case
• 30 month old male is found with an open bottle of verapamil SR 240mg tabs.
• New Rx : 100 tabs
• 94 tabs found
Verapamil
Case continued
• Toddler has normal vital signs
• Playful
• Running around the ED
Whole Bowel Irrigation
• PEG balanced salt solution• Assess for bowel sounds• NGT placement with confirmation
– First AC– Follow with PEG 500* ml/hr (start at 100 ml/hr and
rapidly titrate)– Q4 AC
• Continue until clear rectal effluent
*Can give higher dose of up to 2L/hour as tolerated

How does this affect cardiac output?
Rx: Vasodilation
Agent Vasoconstriction HR CONE ++++ ↓↓↓
PE ++++ ↓↓↓
HR = Heart rate; CO=Cardiac OutputNE= Norepinephrine PE= Phenylephrine
Clinical Evaluation
• Mental status• Peripheral circulation• Urine output• Lactate production• Acid/base status
Vasodilation
• Crystalloid• Calcium: variable efficacy• Direct acting α1 agonists
– Norepinephrine– Phenylephrine
• Caveat need to combine with inotropes
Bradycardia
What can we try?
Bradycardia• Atropine and calcium
– Variable efficacy
• ß1 agonists*– Direct: Epinephrine, Isoproterenol– Indirect: Glucagon
What do these do to blood pressure?

Inotropes
• Critical to cardiac output
• Allow titration of pressors
• Also have caveats

Inotropes
• ß1 agonists– Direct– Indirect
• Phosphodiesterase inhibitors
• Calcium
Calcium 10% = 100 mg/mL
• Calcium chloride– 1.36 mEq/mL– Central line important
• Calcium gluconate– 0.43 mEq/mL
CaCl2 10% (100 mg/mL)
• 20 mg/kg bolus over 3-5 minutes• Repeat in 10 minutes
• Dilute concentration to 20 mg/mL• 20-50 mg/kg/hr infusion
Calcium Gluconate 10% (100 mg/mL)
• 60-100 mg/kg bolus over 3 minutes• (remember this has less mEq Ca2+)• May repeat in 10 minutes
• Dilute to 50 mg/mL• Infusion 120-240 mg/kg/hr
Inotropes
• ß1 agonists– Direct– Indirect
• Phosphodiesterase inhibitors

HR = Heart rate; CO=Cardiac Output
In CCA Toxicity
Insulin and Dextrose
• Increase energy efficiency
• Prolongs opening of Ca2+ channels
• Potential anti-inflammatory effects
Insulin and Dextrose
• Canine models– Increase lethal dose verapamil– Delayed time to death– Not necessarily change in heart rate or
MAP– Compared to saline, epi, glucagon groups
Insulin and Dextrose
• Human cases– No comparative trials– Often rescue medication– None as first line therapy– ?Reporting bias of success– At least a dozen survivors– Bolus vs infusion

GlucoseAerobic metabolism
Insulin and Dextrose
• First fluid, calcium, other interventions• Insulin 1 U/kg bolus
– 0.5-1 u/kg/hour infusion (some even higher)
• Dextrose 0.25 g/kg of D25 for glucose <200 mg/dL
• Potassium supplementation < 2.5 Eq/mL
Insulin and Dextrose
• Check blood glucose and K+ q 20 min x 3
• Then every hour
• Clinical response may be within 20 – 60 minutes
• Call PCC: when to start, stop, outcomes
Invasive Therapies
• ECMO/VAD
• Exchange transfusion?
• Balloon pump
Intralipids: The Future?
• Used in local anesthetic toxicity
• Mechanism uncertain
• Rat and canine models are promising
• With lipid soluble toxin
Lipidrescue.org
Intralipid?
• 20% solution
• 1-2 mL/kg bolus
• 0.25 mL/kg/hr
• Call PCCLipidrescue.org
Case

Dosing (please recheck)
• Atropine– 0.02 mg/kg q 3 minutes up to 3 mg
