EM@3AM: Overdose
A 38-year-old male presents from triage in a hospital wheelchair with his head slumped to one side. You immediately move him into bed and assess his ABCs. He wakes briefly, but he seems to be hallucinating. Vital signs: BP 154/110, HR 110, T 102.1, RR 20, SpO2 100% on room air. Physical exam reveals mydriasis and diaphoresis. He has track marks on his arms and you find packets of what appears to be mixed prescription drugs, heroin, and methamphetamine in his pocket. What’s this presentation most consistent with? What’s your next step in evaluation and treatment?
