Case focused on the identification and initial management of an opiate intoxicated patient.
Great opportunity to review basic BLS, initial management of decreased LOC, LOC exam, and the skills do OPA and ventilation w BVM.
Great sim, learned a lot about how to treat an overdose
The scenario provided me with a good introduction into emergency medicine. For me, it highlighted the importance of utilizing the skills and knowledge of members of the interprofessional team.
Very realistic scenario. Common presentation for our ER here and in most cities in Canada now a days. Long acting opioids are a scary presentation given amount of arcane needed to have some resolution of symptoms.
