Background. Treatment of combined beta blocker and calcium channel blocker intoxication remains challenging due to a profound and treatment-resistant circulatory collapse. Along with standard therapy (calcium, glucagon, mechanical ventilation, vasopressors), two novel approaches are increasingly being reported as successful: hyperinsulinemic euglycemia and intravenous lipid emulsion. Case Report. Our patient: a 66-year-old Caucasian male who ingested approximately 450 mg of bisoprolol, 300 mg of amlodipine, 200 mg of doxazosin and smaller amounts of nifedipine, torasemide, acetysaliclic acid and ibuprofen in a suicide attempt. The patient was hypotensive and bradycardic on admission with left-ventricular ejection fraction estimated at 10-15%. By combining standard therapy (intubation, mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, calcium and glucagon) and new therapies (hyperinsulinemic euglycemia and intravenous lipid emulsions) in a stepwise approach we normalized systolic function and treated bradycardia SIGNA VITAE 2015; 10(1): 144 150
