In ED patients with acute drug overdose and potential indications for SBT, administration of SBT as part of routine clinical care was an independent, dose-dependent, predictor of ACVE, DQTP, and death. This study was not designed to determine whether the SBT or acute overdose itself was causative of ACVE; however, these data suggest that poisoned patients receiving antidotal SBT require close cardiovascular monitoring.
