Department of Emergency Medicine

PURPOSE: Adults aged >65 years are susceptible to intentional and unintentional poisoning, with contributing factors that include polypharmacy, comorbidity, susceptibility to medication error, and gaps in research. Although toxicologists are often tasked with managing and preventing poisoning among older adults, little is known about sex differences in these poisonings. The aim of this study was to review sex differences in poisonings among older adults managed at the bedside by medical toxicologists.

METHODS: All case subjects aged >65 years in the Toxicology Investigators Consortium (ToxIC) registry between January 2010 and December 2016 were reviewed. Data included reasons for exposure and consultation, …

Abstract

Purpose

This study aimed to determine the current attitudes, perceptions, and practices of emergency medicine providers and nurses (RNs) regarding the discharge of adult patients from the emergency department (ED) after administration of opioid analgesics.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was administered at 3 hospital sites with a combined annual ED census of >180,000 visits per year. All 59 attending emergency physicians (EPs), 233 RNs, and 23 advanced practice clinicians (APCs) who worked at these sites were eligible to participate.

Findings

Thirty-five EPs (59.3%), 88 RNs (37.8%), and 14 APCs (60.9%) completed the survey for an overall response rate of …

Department of Emergency Medicine

Purpose

Substance use and misuse is prevalent in emergency department (ED) populations. While the prevalence of substance use and misuse is reported, sex-specific trends in ED populations have not been documented. We set out to determine the sex-specific prevalence of ED patient substance use during this current epidemic.

Methods

A retrospective electronic data abstraction tool, developed for quality-improvement purposes, was used to assess ED visits in 3 hospitals in northeastern Pennsylvania. All patients with ED diagnosis codes for substance use F10.000 through F 19.999 (excluding F17 codes for nicotine) were abstracted for network ED visits at all 3 hospitals. Data …

Loperamide-Induced Torsades De Pointes: A Case Series, Kenneth D. Katz Md, Robert D. Cannon Do, Matthew D. Cook Do, Alexandra Amaducci, Ryan Day, Joshua Enyart Do, Glenn Burket, Jennifer Janssen Ms, Karl E. Williams Md, Mph Mar 2017

Loperamide-Induced Torsades De Pointes: A Case Series, Kenneth D. Katz Md, Robert D. Cannon Do, Matthew D. Cook Do, Alexandra Amaducci, Ryan Day, Joshua Enyart Do, Glenn Burket, Jennifer Janssen Ms, Karl E. Williams Md, Mph

Department of Emergency Medicine

Background: Loperamide (Imodium™) is an antidiarrheal opioid acting at the μ receptor agonist in high concentrations. Due to the US opioid epidemic, loperamide abuse and ensuing life-threatening toxicity have surfaced.

Hypothesis: The timing and duration of Torsades de Pointes (TdP) from loperamide toxicity is unpredictable and should be heeded with caution, even in asymptomatic patients and drug discontinuance.

Methods: Two patients presenting with life-threatening TdP requiring lengthy hospital admissions for confirmed loperamide toxicity are discussed. Patient data were retrieved from the hospital’s EMR system.

Subdural Hematoma As A Consequence Of Epidural Anesthesia., Tracy M Bishop Do, Kareem S. Elsayed Ms, Kathleen E. Kane Md

Department of Emergency Medicine

Regional spinal and epidural anesthesia are used commonly in operative procedures. While the most frequent complication, postdural puncture headache (PDPH), is a clinically diagnosed positional headache that is usually self-limited, subdural hemorrhage (SDH) is a potentially fatal complication that cannot be missed. We report a case of an otherwise healthy female who presented with persistent positional headache and was ultimately found to have a large subdural hematoma with midline shift requiring surgical evacuation.
