Shaun D. Carstairs, M.D. FACMT FACEPCDR MC USN30 June 2015Slide5
Introduction
Poisoning emergencies common in the ED2.5 million toxic exposures reported in 20091544 deathsClinical effects dependent upon many variablesDoseLength of exposure timePre-existing health of patientClin Toxicol (Phila) 2010; 48:979-1178Slide6
Objective
To provide basic concepts for evaluation and appropriate management of the poisoned patientSlide7
Topics
Resuscitation/initial managementDiagnostic approachHistory/physical examToxidromesElectrocardiogramLaboratory analysisTreatment approachDecontaminationAntidotesEnhancement of clearanceSlide8
Resuscitation and Initial ManagementSlide9
Initial Management
Thorough assessmentAppropriate stabilizationSupportive careConsider a broad differential diagnosisSlide10
MISTAKE #1
Assuming a patient’s presenting symptoms are due to a toxicologic cause without excluding potentially serious conditionsSlide11
Case #1
25 year old male with history of drug abuse found “altered” at home by parentsVS: T 100.3, R 20, P 130, BP 100/60Confused, dry skin/mucous membranesLooks antimuscarinic…. or is he?Lumbar puncture 590 WBCSlide12
Case #2
21 year old Marine, found downStrong smell of EtOHPlaced in the front hallway to “sleep it off”… only he doesn’t wake up in the morningHead CT shows intracranial hemorrhageSlide13
Initial Management
Same as the non-poisoned patientABC’sIV, O2, cardiac monitoringDepressed mental statusCheck blood glucoseConsider naloxone and/or thiamine as indicatedSlide14
Circulatory Status
Large-bore IV’sStrongly consider central venous access, esp. if hypotensiveIn hypotensive patients, mechanism of toxicity can guide vasopressor choiceDirect vasopressors preferredDopamine not an ideal agent in poisoned patientsSlide15
History & Physical ExaminationSlide16
History

Laboratory AnalysisSlide50
Labs
Not a substitute for a thorough history and physical exam!Recommended labs:Metabolic panel (everyone)Acetaminophen level (everyone)Salicylate level (if exam/VS suggestive)Osmol gap (maybe)Slide51
Labs
Specific drugs (as indicated):EthanolValproic acidCarbamazepinePhenytoinLithiumDigoxinSlide52
The Urine “
Tox Screen”Commonly orderedRarely helpfulDoes not imply causality, only exposureLots of false positives/negativesDon’t rely on it to guide management decisionsSlide53
Treatment of the Poisoned PatientSlide54
Decontamination
Providers tend to overestimate potential benefitsLittle data showing improvement in outcomesShould only be considered after consideration of risks and benefitsSlide55
Syrup of Ipecac
Derived from roots of ipecacuanha plantDirect chemoreceptor zone actionMay cause prolonged emesis and sedationNo proven benefitNot recommendedSlide56
Activated Charcoal
Large surface areaAdsorbs many ingested xenobioticsShown to reduce AUC for many substancesNo improvement in outcomesSlide57
Activated Charcoal
Doesn’t work withMetalsIonsAlcoholsDon’t use withCausticsVomiting patientDepressed mental statusSlide58
Activated Charcoal
ComplicationsEmesisAspirationBowel perforation/obstruction with MDACMay consider if patient presents <1 hour s/p ingestion of worrisome substanceSlide59

Whole Bowel Irrigation
ContraindicationsIleusBowel obstruction/perforationHemodynamic instabilitySlide68
Antidotes
Not necessary in most poisoningsCan be lifesaving in selected patientsConsider expected side effects and contraindications before useSlide69
N-
AcetylcysteineUsed primarily in acetaminophen poisoningFully protective if given up to 8 hours post-ingestionDetoxifies NAPQI (toxic metabolite)Can give with charcoalCons: smells bad, can cause vomiting, hypotension/rash (IV)Slide70
Naloxone
Opioid poisoningIV is preferred route but can give IM/SCGoal is reversal of respiratory depression, not awakening patient!Can precipitate opioid withdrawalShorter-acting than many opioidsSlide71
Flumazenil
Benzodiazepine receptor antagonistUseful in carefully selected patientsMay precipitate life-threatening withdrawal in chronic benzo usersDo not use in patients who may have ingested seizure-inducing medicationsSlide72
Fomepizole
4-methylpyrazolePotent inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenasePreferred over ethanol for toxic alcohol poisoningDoes not cause sedation or hypoglycemiaSlide73
Antibody Fragments (
Fab)Rattlesnake envenomationBlack widow envenomationDigoxin poisoningSlide74
Antibody Fragments (
Fab)Most sheep-derivedExpensiveAnaphylactoid reactions (uncommon)ContraindicationsAllergy to horse or sheep serumPapaya allergySlide75

Methylene
BlueUsed to treat methemoglobinemiaCofactor for NADPH-methemoglobin reductase enzymeAvoid in G6PD deficiencySlide77
Enhancement of ClearanceSlide78
Alkalinization
May enhance excretion of weak acids“Ion-trapping”IV sodium bicarbonate (bolus)Consider in poisoning with:SalicylatesPhenobarbitalChlorpropamideMethotrexateAvoid over-alkalinizationSlide79
Dialysis
Useful in xenobiotics with:Small molecular weight (<500 Daltons)Low Vd (usu. <1 L/kg)Low protein bindingClears xenobioticCorrects acid-base abnormalitiesSlide80
Dialysis
Consider in:SalicylatesToxic alcoholsLithiumTheophyllineValproic acid (severe poisoning)Slide81
Other Methods
Urinary acidification – not recommendedForced diuresis – not recommendedCharcoal hemoperfusion – not widely availableMulti-dose activated charcoalTheophyllinePhenobarbitalDapsoneCarbamazepineQuinineSlide82
Shipboard Treatment
ABC’s are paramountConsider charcoal if <1 h and no contraindicationsNo ipecac, gastric lavage, or induced emesis!Antidotes helpful in select patients (esp. bicarb, NAC)If concerned, transfer to MTF ASAP or call Poison Control Center (800-222-1222)Slide83
Shipboard Treatment
Most patients will recover with careful supportive careHistory and physical exam can provide important cluesLook for toxidromesAntidotes helpful in select patientsConsider decontamination & elimination enhancementSlide84

I have no financial or other interests involving any products or companies that will be discussed in this lectureSlide95
Objectives
Define allergic reactions and anaphylaxisUnderstand the mechanisms through which these reactions occurTreat acute allergic reactions and anaphylaxisManage patients appropriately after an allergic or anaphylactic reactionSlide96
Anaphylaxis: How Common Is It?
Approximately 1,500 deaths per year in USNumber of non-fatal reactions is not known presumed to be around 100,00066% are new casesParenteral and topical agents>oralCondition poorly defined until 20042005 definition agreed upon by:National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID)Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Network symposiumSlide97
Definitions
Allergy – acquired potential to develop immunologically-mediated adverse reactions to normally innocuous substancesAnaphylaxis“A serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death”.Has clinical criteriaSlide98
Anaphylaxis Criteria
Acute onset of illness (minutes to hours) with involvement of skin, mucosa or both, and at least one of the following:Respiratory compromiseReduced blood pressure (SBP <90) or symptoms of end-organ dysfunctionOr Two or more of the following:Skin-mucosal involvementRespiratory compromise (Reduced blood pressure/end-organ compromisePersistent GI symptoms (Nausea, vomiting,OrReduced BP after exposure to known allergen (PCN, peanuts, etc…)Slide99
Same Thing/Different LookSlide100
Allergy Terms
Urticaria (hives)Blood vessel dilation and edema of the dermisCutaneous elevations (wheals)PruriticSuperficialPolymorphicAngioedemaAnaphylaxisSlide101
A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words
AngioedemaUrticariaSlide102
PruritisSlide103
Pathophysiology of Allergic Reactions
Type I (Immediate hypersensitivy): IgE drivenTwo step processStep 1: Sensitization (First time immune system decides the antigen is not its friend)Step 2: Re-exposure to antigen>>activation of mast cells and basophils>>degranulation and release of mediatorsSlide104
Mediators of Anaphylaxis
Histamine (most important)Increased vascular permeability (H1 and H2). Vasodilation, shock, angioedema, urticarialSmooth muscle contraction (H1)Brochoconstriction, GI effects (vomiting/diarrhea), uterine contractionCardiacCoronary artery spasm (H1)Increased heart rate (H2)Increased glandular secretion (H1 and H2) (mucus/saliva)GI: Increased gastric acid secretion (H2)Leukotrienes and prostaglandinsCytokinesSlide105
Target Organs
CardiovascularHypotension (30%), syncope,arrhythmia, anginaRespiratory (50% of cases)Upper – pharyngeal or laryngeal edemaLower – bronchospasm GI (30% of cases)Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, crampingSkin (88% of cases)Flushing, erythema, pruritus, urticarial, angioedemaCentral nervous systemHeadache, confusion, altered mental statusSlide106
Clinical Spectrum and Time Course
Clinical ManifestationsNasal congestionUrticariaAngioedemaPresyncope/bronchospasmCardiovascular collapse and respiratory failure**Skin involvement occurs in 88% of all reactions **Must look out for the other 12%Time Course of PresentationImmediate/early onset5-30 min after parenteral2 hours after oralMost fatalities occur within 30 minBiphasic anaphylaxisSecond wave reactionOccurs in 1-20% of cases of anaphylaxis1-72 hours later, most within 8 hoursSeverity of initial reaction not predictiveSlide107
Etiologic Agents
Anaphylactic (IgE-mediated)FoodMedicationsInsect VenomLatexExerciseAnaphylactoid: NOT IgE-mediatedOpioidsAspirin and NSAIDSRadiocontrast mediaMimics anaphylaxis (treatment is the same)Immediate systemic reactionMay occur on first exposureLevel of reaction depends on degree of exposureSlide108
Treatment of Allergic Reaction
IVOxygenMonitorBenedryl (diphenhydramine) 50 mg IV (H1 blocker)Zantac (ranitidine)50 mg IVAlbuterol (wheezing/SOB)Steroids (take 4-6 hours to take effect)Decadron 10 mg IVSolumedrol 125 mg IVSlide109
H2 Blockers are important
Diphenhydramine 50 mg IV + ranitidine 50 mg IVDiphenhydramine 50 mg IV + PlaceboUrticaria at 2 hours8%26%Need for additionalAnti-histamines4%23%Slide110
Treatment of Anaphylaxis
IVOxygen and Prepare for difficult airway (Bougie or glidescope)MonitorEpinphrine 1:1000 0.3-0.5 mL SC or IM q5 min OREpinephrine drip (1 mg in 1 L NS. Start 1 cc/min titrate every minute) OREpinephrine 1:10,000 1-5 cc IV (0.1 mg/ml)“Epinephrine is the drug of choice for anaphylaxis” (World Allergy Organization) Bronchodilator, chronotrope and inotropeGlucagon 1-5 mg IV if patient on Beta BlockerSlide111
Airway ManagementSlide112
Management
Monitor for 8 hours (cover the second wave)Admit if:Severe presenting symptoms even if resolvedHistory of severe, protracted or recurrent anaphylaxisComorbidities (asthma, CHF, Renal disease)Concurrent beta blocker useSlide113
Medications at Discharge
Epipen (0.3 mg) IM and teach how to use itH1 blocker (3-7 days)H2 blocker (3-7 days)Corticosteroids (3-7 days)Slide114
Question 1
Allergic reactions commonly involve the skin and mucosa. What percentage of cases do not involve skin or mucosa?A. 1%B. 6%C. 12%D. 21%Slide115
Question 2
Which of the following statement(s) meet the definition of anaphylaxis?A. Acute onset of illness (minutes to hours) with involvement of skin or mucosa AND respiratory compromiseB. Reduced blood pressure after exposure to a known allergenC. Skin or mucosal involvement AND persistent GI symptomsD. All of the aboveE. A and B onlyF. A and C onlySlide116
Question 3
You are underway and a 50-year old Master Chief weighing 70 kg presents to Medical complaining of throat swelling, difficulty breathing and pruritic hives. Which of the following is an inappropriate dose/route of epinephrine administration combination to treat his anaphylactic reaction?A. Epinephrine 1:1000 1-5 mL IVB. EpiPen 0.3 mg IMC. Epinephrine 1:1000 0.2-0.5 mL IMD. Epinephrine 1:1000 0.2-0.5 mL SCSlide117
Question 4
You find out the Master Chief is on Toprol (metoprolol) XL 50 mg daily for hypertension. Which of the following aduncts is MOST LIKELY to improve his treatment?A. Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) 50 mg IVB. Ranitidine (Zantac) 50 mg IVC. Glucagon 5 mg IVD. Solumedrol 125 mg IVSlide118
Pearls and Pitfalls
Give epinephrine to everyone with respiratory or cardiovascular symptoms (Don’t wait for them to get bad)Remember to give an H2 blocker in addition to the H1 blockerLow threshold for admission/observationMost second wave phases occur within 8 hoursDon’t forget Glucagon if patient on a beta blockerKnow your epinephrine doses/routes of administration.Make it simple and teach your CorpsmenSlide119
