Poisoning: beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists, not elsewhere classified - what does this mean
Beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists, not elsewhere classified, are a type of poisoning caused by drugs that block the action of beta-adrenergic receptors. these receptors are found in the body and are responsible for controlling heart rate, blood pressure, and other bodily functions. when these receptors are blocked, it can lead to a variety of symptoms including dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and confusion.
What happens during the disease - poisoning: beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists, not elsewhere classified
Poisoning with beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists, not elsewhere classified, is caused by the ingestion of a drug that is a beta-adrenoreceptor antagonist, which blocks the action of the beta-adrenoreceptors in the body, resulting in a decrease in heart rate, blood pressure, and other symptoms. this blockage of the beta-adrenoreceptors can lead to a variety of symptoms, including dizziness, confusion, and in severe cases, coma and death.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- Blood tests to measure levels of toxins
- Urine tests to measure levels of toxins
- Imaging tests (X-ray, CT scan, MRI) to look for signs of organ damage
- Liver function tests
- Electrocardiogram (ECG) to measure heart rate and rhythm
- Skin tests to detect toxins
- Neurological tests to assess nerve function
- Breathing tests to assess lung function
- Toxicology screen to detect the presence of drugs
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To treat poisoning caused by Beta-adrenoreceptor antagonists, not elsewhere classified.
- Administering activated charcoal to absorb toxins from the body
- Administering a saline solution to flush the toxins from the body
- Administering a cathartic to help the body eliminate toxins through the intestines
- Administering a diuretic to increase urine production and help flush toxins from the body
- Administering an antidote to counteract the effects of the toxin
- Administering oxygen to help maintain vital organs and prevent tissue damage
- Monitoring vital signs to detect changes in the patient's condition
- Providing supportive care, such as intravenous fluids and medications to manage symptoms
- Providing psychological support to help the patient cope with the stress of the situation
6 Days of Hospitalization Required
