    Overall I have really enjoyed these sessions. As someone who’s been practicing addiction for a while, it’s refreshing to hear from the national leaders. Would recommend meat and potatoes discussions which could be shared with learners and other docs trying to get a sense of where to start.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: What do you do once the patient is stabilized?
Engage the patient, motivate treatment, reduce harm, and link to evidence-based treatments if a substance use disorder is present.
Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: What is the biggest myth about the agitated patient?
That an awake, yelling patient is stable; agitation signals something critically wrong and requires thorough evaluation for multiple potential causes.
Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: How do nitrous oxide users present and how should they be treated?
Look for functional B12 deficiency with gait instability and sensory signs; aggressive B12 supplementation and relevant labs are important.
Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: How do you handle GHB coma?
Support the airway and breathing; there is no antidote, and the coma typically reverses as GHB clears from the system, with withdrawal possible in heavy, daily users.
Polysubstance Intoxication: Managing the Unknown
Q: How do you handle a patient intoxicated with a psychedelic drug?
Establish safety, reduce stimulation, provide gentle reassurance, and monitor for signs like serotonin syndrome.
