Background
Clinical Features
Differential Diagnosis
Sedative/hypnotic toxicity
- Absinthe
- Barbiturates
- Benzodiazepines
- Chloral hydrate
- Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB)
- Baclofen toxicity
- Opioids
- Toxic alcohols
- Xylazine toxicity
Evaluation
Toxic Alcohols Anion/Osmolar Gaps
| Osmolar gap | Anion gap | Management | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ethanol | + | + if ketoacidosis | Mainly supportive |
| Ethylene glycol | + | + | Fomepizole, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, +/- Dialysis |
| Methanol | + | + | Fomepizole or ethanol, Folinic acid, +/- Dialysis |
| Isopropyl alcohol | + | - | Mainly supportive |

| RR | Variable | Nl / ↓ | Variable | Nl / ↓ | Nl / ↓ |
| HR | Variable | ↑ | ↑ (sig) | Nl / ↓ | Nl / ↓ |

| Pupils | Variable | Mydriatic | Mydriatic | Nl / Miotic | |
| Motor | Fasciculations, Flacid Paralysis | Nl | Nl / Agitated | Nl | |

| Lungs | Bronchospasm / rhinorrhea | Nl | Nl | Nl | |
| Bowel Sounds | Hyperactive (SLUDGE) | ↓ / Absent | Nl / ↓ | Nl / ↓ |
- ^Consider Sympatholytic when looking at Sedative OD or someone who doesn't respond to Narcan
- Withdrawal from substances have the opposite effect
