A 55-year-old man attempted suicide by ingesting tolfenpyrad, emulsion formulation insecticide, and organophosphorus pesticide emulsion, each three gulps. He was found lying on the floor and his family called an ambulance an hour later from ingesting. On arrival at our hospital, his Glasgow Coma Scale score was 14 (E3V5M6), his vital signs were stable, and he was able to converse. Activated charcoal and laxatives were injected through a gastric tube, and continuous administration of pralidoxime iodide was started. After hospitalization, he complained of nausea and his consciousness level decreased immediately. Endotracheal intubation was performed, and mechanical ventilation management was started Subsequently, he experienced bradycardia leading to transient cardiopulmonary arrest. Return of spontaneous circulation was achieved after one cycle of cardiopulmonary resuscitation. While blood pressure was stabilized with continuous catecholamine administration, blood gas analysis revealed severe lactic acidosis, which gradually aggravated. Electroencephalography performed 16.5 hours after the suicide attempt showed flat waves, and he wa's suspected brain dead. He died about 37 hours after the suicide attempt.

The intoxication caused by "kiken" drugs (law-evading drugs), such as synthetic cannabinoids, cathinones, and methoxetamine, has recently increased in Japan. We retrospectively examined the characteristics of patients poisoned with the "kiken" drugs. We included patients who presented at the emergency department at the Tokyo Metropolitan Bokutoh Hospital from January 2011 to December 2014. Eighteen patients admitted between January 2011 and December 2013 were included in the early period group and 10 patients admitted between January and December 2014 were categorized into the late period group. The number of the patients transported to our emergency department between 2011 and 2014 increased annually. Patients were mainly admitted between May and October 2014; no patients were admitted after November 2014. The patients' age, history of previous mental disease, habitual use, Triage DOA results, serum creatinine values on admission, and respiratory management differed significantly between the groups. However, the median serum creatinine values of both groups on admission were within the normal level. Patients poisoned with the "kiken" drugs showed more severe symptoms, higher rate of habitual use, and higher average age. The annual increase in the number of the patients observed thus far is expected to decrease in the future. Maintenance of the law and expansion of medical institutions that treat patients addicted to the "kiken" drugs are warranted.
