Acute Opioid Overdose
08:46 Share

Over the next few weeks, I want to do a mini toxicology series. With the amount of new drugs and the amount of overdoses which are occurring, I think it's important for providers to know...

• The clinical presentation
• Diagnosis
• Differential Diagnosis
• Workup
• Management

...for these critical patients.

Today, we'll be discussing the acute opioid overdose. We'll go over a case, break it down by intro, etiology, clinical presentation, workup, diagnosis, differentials, and management. 

So, let's dive in!

Our goal at Medgeeks is to help you live the life you want to live as you navigate a career in medicine.

This looks different to everyone, which is why we take such a personalized approach.
