Abstract
We describe a case of severe oxprenolol poisoning (8 g overdose) where restoration of normal blood pressure depended critically on high-dose glucagon infusion after several bolus injections of glucagon had failed. We stress the importance of infusion delivery of glucagon in severe beta-blocker poisoning.Keywords
