#### Monitoring

The BNF advises to monitor lung function (in patients with a history of obstructive airway disease).

#### Overdoses

Overdosages with beta-blockers may cause cardiac effects such as bradycardia, hypotension, syncope, conduction abnormalities, and heart failure. Bradycardia is the most common arrhythmia, but some beta-blockers may induce ventricular tachyarrhythmias secondary to prolongation of QT interval (e.g. sotalol) or QRS duration (e.g. propranolol).
Non-cardiovascular effects include central nervous system effects (including drowsiness, confusion, convulsions, hallucinations, and in severe cases coma), respiratory depression, and bronchospasm.

Management
 - Airway protection 
 - Activated charcoal within 1 hour
 - IV Fluids
 
IV glucagon is the first-line management.
 
For symptomatic bradycardia, IV atropine may be used.
