Following from the previous serotonin syndrome poster, this week looks at toxicology related presentations (credit to Polaris Medical for the image).
While we may not know what people have taken or they may not know, or care, what they have taken therefore our assessment, diagnosis and treatment may be dependent on recognising the signs and symptoms seen in the common syndromes.
This chart can help with those decisions for those who have taken single types of medication, polypharmacy use needs a little more thought.
Hope to have developed a CPD programme on clinical practice for festivals and similar events, including toxicology related presentations, towards the end of the year.
