Symptoms
symptoms of CNS stimulation: (anxiety, anxiety, confusion, hyperpnoea, tachycardia, increased blood pressure with red face, nausea, vomiting, tremor, convulsive twitching, tonic-clonic convulsions);
Symptoms of CPP depression: (dizziness, hearing loss, loss of ability to speak, loss of consciousness, muscle atony, vasomotor paralysis (weakness, pallor), shortness of breath, death due to respiratory paralysis);
symptoms of cardiovascular depression, bradycardia, arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation, drop in blood pressure, cyanosis, cardiac arrest.
Treatment: at the first manifestations of symptoms of toxic effects during the administration of the drug, it should stop its introduction and move the patient to a horizontal position with raised lower limbs. It is necessary to ensure the patency of the airways and monitor the parameters of hemodynamics (the number of heartbeats and blood pressure). It is always recommended, even if the symptoms of intoxication appear to be mild, to put an intravenous catheter in order, if necessary, to be able to immediately carry out intravenous administration of the necessary medicines.
If breathing is disturbed, depending on their severity, oxygen is recommended, and if there are indications for carrying out artificial respiration, an endotracheal intubation and artificial ventilation of the lungs is recommended.
The introduction of central action analeptics is contraindicated.
Muscular twitching and generalized convulsions can be stopped by intravenous injection of barbiturates of short or ultrashort action.It is recommended to inject these drugs slowly, under constant medical supervision (risk of hemodynamic disorders and respiratory depression) and with simultaneous oxygen supply and monitoring of hemodynamic parameters.
Often bradycardia or a sharp drop in blood pressure can be eliminated by simply moving the patient to a horizontal position with raisedlower extremities.
With severe circulatory disturbances and shock, regardless of their cause, the drug should be discontinued and the patient should be placed in a horizontal position with raised lower limbs. It is necessary to provide oxygen supply, intravenous administration of solutions of electrolytes, glucocorticosteroids (250-1000 mg of methylprednisolone), if necessary, plasma substitutes, albumin.
With the development of collapse and increased bradycardia, a slow intravenous injection of a solution of epinephrine (0.0025-0.1 mg) under the control of cardiac rhythm and blood pressure was shown. If it is necessary to administer doses exceeding 0.1 mg, epinephrine should be administered infusion, adjusting the rate of administration under the control of the number of heartbeats and blood pressure.
Severe tachycardias and tachyarrhythmias can be stopped by the administration of antiarrhythmic drugs, with the exception of cardioselective beta-blockers (see section "Contraindications").
Increased blood pressure in patients with arterial hypertension, if necessary, should be reduced with the help of vasodilators.
