Bicarbonate

Bicarbonate is the primary antidote for TCA poisoning. As these are, by far, the most common cause of cardiac arrest in out of hospital poisonings - patients with drug overdose presenting in cardiac arrest or arresting shortly after arrival should receive a bolus of 1 ampoule of NaHCO3.

The patient should then be hyperventilated.
