Summary

This trial investigates effects of a glucagon bolus injection on heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output during beta-blocker-induced cardiodepression. Furthermore, the effects of two different doses of intravenous glucagon on hemodynamic parameters are explored.

Conditions

  • Drug Overdose
  • Overdose of Beta-adrenergic Blocking Drug

Interventions

DRUG

Glucagon

Glucagon 1 mg/ml solution is dissolved in 50 ml isotonic fluid and injected as bolus corresponding to 50 micrograms/kg over 1-3 minutes from time=0 on day C+E. on day D ("glucagon 2"), 50 micrograms/kg of glucagon is infused over 30 minutes from time=0 to time =30.

DRUG

Esmolol

Esmolol hydrochloride 10 mg/ml is infused from time -15 min to time + 30 minutes as an initial bolus followed by an infusion. infusion rate is tapered if heart rate declines below 30 beats per minute (bpm) or \>25 % from baseline, systolic blood pressure decreases below 80 mmHg or the participant experiences side effects.

DRUG

Physiologic saline - glucagon dummy

Isotonic 0.9 % sodium chloride solution is administered as matching placebo to glucagon, and injected in identical rates on corresponding days.

DRUG

Physiologic saline - esmolol dummy

Isotonic 0.9 % sodium chloride solution is administered as matching placebo to esmolol, and injected in identical rates on corresponding days.
