A member asked:
How frequently do you see bradycardia with barbiturate toxicity and how would you speed it up back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is common: and there is no reason to "speed it up to normal" unless the blood pressure is very low. This is not something "you do at home." A barbiturate overdose requires being in an emergency care setting. Breathing can slow down to the point of low oxygen levels and ultimate cardiopulmonary arrest, as well as permanent brain damage. Ventillator support and use of cardiac/BP stimulants may be needed.
