[toxnews] Toxicology Case Conference for 5/18/2023 at 1 PM (please note time change)

[Christine Stork]

Please join us as we remotely attend the ACMT National Case Conference. The case information is below. In addition we will be reviewing the one attached journal article after.

Cases
1.      A 22-year-old man with a history of ADHD and mood disorder has a seizure at home after taking extra quantities of his antidepressant with the intent to get high. An ECG on ED arrival reveals the following: HR, 150 bpm; QRS, 105 ms; QT, 290 ms; QTc, 375 ms.
2.      A 30-year old-man is "found down" with a suspected opioid overdose. A fentanyl screen in the ED is positive and a finger stick glucose reads 'low.'
3.      A 77-year-old man drinks an unknown liquid from a sports drink bottle found in his garage and shortly thereafter experiences intractable vomiting. A point of care test done in the ED reveals the likely diagnosis.

This ACMT National Case Conference will be hosted by:
