3. Abstract
 Background: A study published by St-Onge at al. (2012),
identified an important variation in practice in regards to
the management of calcium channel blocker (CCB)
poisoning. The objectives of this study was to evaluate if
the opinions of emergency physicians regarding the
treatment of CCB poisonings varied and are influenced by
their training and practice setting.
 Methods: A survey was conducted among emergency
physicians working in a Canadian province (September 2008
to 2011). A weight-based group sampling method was used
to identify theemergency departments where clinicians
were invited to participate. During one of the emergency
department meetings, clinicians were asked to select their
management for six diltiazem poisoning scenarios, and
identified which resources were available at their hospital.
