Abstract
A patient presented to the emergency department with a history of poisoning or drug overdose can be a serious management dilemma. The toxic emergency may range from a life-threatening situation which demands immediate resuscitative care to a stable clinical condition that may, in time, become unstable. This range of possibilities can be a serious problem for the flight team transporting the overdose patient.
