Q

Anti-cholinergic toxidrome

A 
= atropine, scopolamine, anti-histamines, synthetic marijuana, K2, spice
(sympa overdrive) 
↑HR, BP
Normal or ↑RR
↑T
Mydriasis 
Agitated 
DRY, bowel sounds decreased, urine retention
17
Q

Opioid toxidrome

A 
= heroine, morphine, oxycodone
↓HR, BP
↓↓↓ RR - worried about this! CNS depression, need to maintain respiration!! 
Miosis
Lethargy, coma
↓ bowel sounds, urine retention
18
Q

Cholinergic toxidrome

A 
= Organophosphates, pesticides (para overdrive = SLUDGE, DUMB BELLS)
↓HR, BP
↑RR
↓Temp - not remarkable
Miosis
Lethargy, seizure
Sweating
↑bowel sounds, peeing the bed
19
Q

What labs do you get for poisoned pts?

A

Serum labs based on what you think they’re ODing on

  • Acetaminophens & salicylates (aspirin)
  • Anti-epileptics: phenytoin, phenobarbital, carbamazepine, valproic acid
  • Methemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin
  • Alcohols: ethanol, methanol, ethylene glycol
20
Q

How do you determine whether to treat an OD?

A

Nanogram

Above SOLID line = treat with antidote

21
Q

What is the antidote for tylenol OD?

A

Acetlycysteine = glutathione precursor

22
Q

Calculate anion gap

A

Na - (Cl + HCO3)

23
Q

What is the mneumonic if AG > 15

A 
MUDPILES
Methanol
Uremia
DKA
Phenformin, paraldehyde
Iron, isoniazid
Lactic acid
Ethylene glycol
Salicylates
24

Whole bowel irrigation

25
Q

Reqs for gastric lavage

A

1 hr

Life threatening

26
Q

Reqs for activated charcoal

A

Absorbs toxins -> fecal excretion

Most drugs and toxins

27
Q

What doesn’t charcoal bind

A

Hydrocarbons
Alcohols
Metals

28
Q

Reqs for whole bowel irrigation

A

Slow release pills
Metals
Foreign bodies - body packers

29
Q

3 mechanism to enhance drug elim

A

Multiple dose activated charcoal - bile trap, drugs that might get released later
Urine alkalinization = low pKa drugs so preferentially move them into urine
Extracorporeal drug removal = dialysis

30
