Sradycard/a Atropine is used in the suppression of vagally mediated bradycardias. Preoperative medication Atropine, scopolamine, hyoscyamine, and glycopyrrolate are used as preanesthetic medication to control bronchial, nasal, pharyngeal, and salivary secretions and to block cardiac vagal inhibitory reflexes during induction of anesthesia and intubation. Scopolamine is used for preanesthetic sedation and for obstetric amnesia.

Lethality was prevented by treatment with nasal atropine (atropine methyl nitrate) and post-exposure treatment with atropine methyl bromide instillation in combination with pulmonary therapeutic surfactants or liquevents in guinea pigs exposed to approximate LC50 concentrations of VX aerosol (Nambiar et ah, 2007) this concept shows promise for operational application in emergency response. 

The unwanted peripheral effects of all atropine-like drugs include flushing of the skin, dryness of the mucous membranes with fever, tachycardia, reduced salivary secretion and dryness of the mouth, drying up of the gastrointestinal secretions and decreased gastric acidity, and reduced muscle tone in the gut and constipation. Bladder tone and frequency of micturition are reduced and acute urinary retention is a risk, especially in older men with prostatic hyperplasia. Nasal, bronchial, and lacrimal secretions are reduced. 

This comprises first aid measures that the soldier can apply to help him or herself. The rapid action of nerve agents call for immediate self treatment. Unexplained nasal secretion, salivation, tightness of the chest, shortness of breath, constriction of pupils, muscular twitching, or nausea and abdominal cramps call for the immediate intramuscular injection of 2 mg of atropine, combined if possible with oxime. From 1 to 3 automatic injection devices (Mark I), each containing 2 mg atropine or mixture of atropine, oxime and/or anticonvulsant, are carried by each individual.
