➡️Publication Alert⬅️#Bromazolam, an emerging illicit benzo, was found in ~8% of 341 nonfatal opioid/stimulant ODs across 17 U.S. EDs. Patients w/ bromazolam had higher #fentanyl levels, despite similar fentanyl detection rates. ➡️ bit.ly/46sPU3M

#Xylazine found in 1 in 5 nonfatal #opioid #overdoses across 10 U.S. EDs, mostly alongside #fentanyl. Exposure highest in NE vs. rare in the West. Regional trends underscore need for targeted public health responses. #MedToxTuesday

3. What is your experience with people's attitudes towards medetomidine? Are people seeking it out intentionally or is more often an adulterant to opioids or other agents?

2. Are you seeing fewer xylazine-related wounds as medetomidine becomes more prevalent in the drug supply?

1. Have you encountered challenges initiating medications for opioid use disorder in individuals using opioids that may be adulterated with medetomidine?

Risk of Delayed Intubation After Presumed Opioid Overdose in the Emergency Department The objective of this study was to evaluate the optimal duration of monitoring for patients with presumed opioid overdoses prior to a non-ICU admission, particularly in the context of the increasing p...

🧵1/ Our new study in Annals of Emergency Medicine on opioid OD in the ED: Out of 1,591 cases, delayed intubation (>4h) was rare—only 9 patients (0.6%). What does this mean for emergency medicine? @acmtmedtox.bsky.social #OpioidCrisis

CHECK IT OUT 🔎Fentalog's newest findings show that less than 1% of patients who experienced an opioid-related overdose required delayed intubation, with most cases relating to non-respiratory related conditions. Read more here: doi.org/10.1016/j.an...
