Abstract Background: This is the 29th Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers’ (AAPCC) National Poison Data System (NPDS). As of 1 July 2011, 57 of the nation’s poison centers (PCs) uploaded case data automatically to NPDS. The upload interval was 8.43 [6.29, 13.7] (median [25%, 75%]) minutes, creating a near real-time national exposure and information database and surveillance system. Methodology: We analyzed the case data tabulating specific indices from NPDS. The methodology was similar to that of previous years. Where changes were introduced, the differences are identified. Poison center cases with medical outcomes of death were evaluated by a team of 38 medical and clinical toxicologist reviewers using an ordinal scale of 1–6 to assess the Relative Contribution to Fatality (RCF) of the exposure to the death. Results: In 2011, 3,624,063 closed encounters were logged by NPDS: 2,334,004 human exposures, 80,266 animal exposures, 1,203,282 information calls, 6,243 human confirmed nonexposures, and 268 animal confirmed nonexposures. Total encounters showed an 8.3% decline from 2010, while health care facility exposure calls increased by 4.8%. Human exposures with less serious outcomes decreased by 3.4% while those with more serious outcomes (moderate, major or death) increased by 6.8%. All information calls decreased by 17.9% and health care facility (HCF) information calls decreased by 2.9%, Medication identification requests (Drug ID) decreased by 24.1%, and human exposures reported to US poison centers decreased by 2.2%. The top 5 substance classes most frequently involved in all human exposures were analgesics (11.7%), cosmetics/personal care products (8.0%), household cleaning substances (7.0%), sedatives/hypnotics/antipsychotics (6.1%), and foreign bodies/toys/miscellaneous (4.1%). Analgesic exposures as a class increased most rapidly (10,134 calls/year) over the last 11 years. The top 5 most common exposures in children aged 5 years or less were cosmetics/personal care products (14.0%), analgesics (9.9%), household cleaning substances (9.2%), foreign bodies/toys/miscellaneous (6.9%), and topical preparations (6.6%). Drug identification requests comprised 59.5% of all information calls. NPDS documented 2,765 human exposures resulting in death with 1,995 human WARNING: Comparison of exposure or outcome data from previous AAPCC Annual Reports is problematic. In particular, the identification of fatalities (attribution of a death to the exposure) differed from pre-2006 Annual Reports (see Fatality Case Review – Methods). Poison center death cases are described as all cases resulting in death and those determined to be exposure-related fatalities. Likewise, Table 22A and B (Exposure Cases by Generic Category) since year 2006 restricts the breakdown including deaths to single-substance cases to improve precision and avoid misinterpretation. Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 917 fatalities judged related (RCF of 1-Undoubtedly responsible, 2-Probably responsible, or 3-Contributory). Conclusions: These data support the continued value of poison center expertise and need for specialized medical toxicology information to manage the more severe exposures, despite a decrease in calls involving less severe exposures. Unintentional and intentional exposures continue to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. The near real-time, always current status of NPDS represents a national public health resource to collect and monitor US exposure cases and information calls. The continuing mission of NPDS is to provide a nationwide infrastructure for public health surveillance for all types of exposures, public health event identification, resilience response and situational awareness tracking. NPDS is a model system for the nation and global public health. Introduction This is the 29th Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers’ (AAPCC; http://www.aapcc.org) National Poison Data System (NPDS).1 On 1 January 2011, fifty-seven regional Poison Centers (PCs) serving the entire population of the 50 United States, American Samoa, District of Columbia, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands submitted information and exposure case data collected during the course of providing telephonic patient tailored exposure management and poison information. NPDS is the data warehouse for the nation’s 57 poison centers. Poison Centers (PCs) place emphasis on exposure management, accurate data collection and coding, and responding to the continuing need for poison-related public and professional education. The PC’s health care professionals are available free of charge to all, 24-hours a day, every day of the year. PCs respond to questions from the public, health care professionals, and public health agencies. The continuous staff dedication at the regional PCs is manifest as the number of exposure and information call encounters exceeds 3.6 million annually. PC encounters either involve an exposed human or animal (EXPOSURE CALL) or a request for information (INFORMATION CALL) with no person or animal exposed to any foreign body, viral, bacterial, venomous, or chemical agent or commercial product. The NPDS Products Database The NPDS products database contains over 390,000 products ranging from viral and bacterial agents to commercial chemical and drug products. The products database is maintained and continuously updated by data analysts at the Micromedex Poisindex® System (Micromedex Healthcare Series [Internet database]. Greenwood Village, CO: Truven Health Analytics (formerly known as Thomson Reuters (Healthcare) Inc.). A robust generic coding system categorizes the products data into 985 generic codes. These generic codes collapse into Non-Pharmaceutical (551) and Pharmaceutical (434) groups. These two groups are divided into Major 918 A. C. Bronstein et al. (67) and Minor (170) categories. The generic coding schema undergoes continuous improvement through the work of the AAPCC – Micromedex Joint Coding Group. The group consists of AAPCC members and editorial and lexicon staff to meet best terminology practices. The generic code system provides enhanced report granularity as reflected in Table 22. The following 19 generic codes were introduced in 2011: Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only.

Medical direction is provided by Medical Directors who are board-certified physician medical toxicologists. At some PCs, the Managing and Medical Director positions are held by the same person. Calls received at US PCs are managed by healthcare professionals who have received specialized training in toxicology and managing exposure emergencies. These providers include medical and clinical toxicologists, registered nurses, doctors of pharmacy, pharmacists, chemists, hazardous materials specialists, and epidemiologists. Specialists in Poison Information (SPIs) are primarily registered nurses, PharmDs, and pharmacists. They work under the supervision of a Certified Specialist in Poison Information (CSPI). SPIs must log a minimum of 2,000 calls over a 12 month period to become eligible to take the CSPI examination for certification in poison information. Poison Information Providers (PIPs) are allied healthcare professionals. They manage information-type and low acuity (non-hospital) calls and work under the supervision of a CSPI. Of note is the fact that no nursing or pharmacy school offers a toxicology curriculum designed for PC work and SPIs must be trained in programs offered by their respective PC. Centers undergo a rigorous accreditation process administered by the AAPCC and must be reaccredited every 5 years. Characterization of Participating Poison Centers and Population Served Fifty-seven participating centers submitted data to AAPCC through 31 December 2011. Fifty-four centers (95%) were accredited by AAPCC as of 1 July 2011. The entire population of the 50 states, American Samoa, the District of Columbia, Federated States of Micronesia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands was served by the US PC network in 2011.2,3 The average number of human exposure cases managed per day by all US PCs was 6,395. Similar to other years, higher volumes were observed in the warmer months, with a mean of 6,685 cases per day in June compared with 6,138 per day in January. On average, US PCs received a call about an actual human exposure every 13.5 seconds. NPDS – Near Real-time Data Capture Launched on 12 April 2006, NPDS is the data repository for all of the US regional PCs. In 2011, all 57 of the 57 US PCs uploaded case data automatically to NPDS. All centers submitted data in near real-time, making NPDS one of the few operational systems of its kind. PC staff record calls contemporaneously in 1 of 4 case data management systems. Each center uploads case data automatically. The time to upload data for all PCs is 21.1 [6.19, 13.5] (median [25%, 75%]) minutes creating a real-time national exposure database and surveillance system. The web-based NPDS software facilitates detection, analysis, and reporting of NPDS surveillance anomalies. System software offers a myriad of surveillance uses allowing AAPCC, its member centers and public health agencies to utilize NPDS US exposure data. Users are able to access local and regional data for their own areas and view national aggregate data. The application allows for increased “drilldown” capability and mapping via a geographic information system (GIS). Custom surveillance definitions are available along with ad hoc reporting tools. Information in the NPDS database is dynamic. Each year the database is locked prior to extraction of annual report data to prevent inadvertent changes and ensure consistent, reproducible reports. The 2011 database was locked on 25 October 2012 at 15:14 EDT. Call Management – Specialized Poison Exposure Emergency Providers Most PC operations management, clinical education, and instruction are directed by Managing Directors (most are PharmDs and RNs with American Board of Applied Toxicology Annual Report Case Inclusion Criteria The information in this report reflects only those cases that are not duplicates and classified by the regional PC as CLOSED. A case is closed when the PC has determined that no further follow-up/recommendations are required or Because the new codes were added at different times during the year, the numbers in Table 22 for these generic codes do not reflect the entire year. For completeness certain of these categories require customized data retrieval until these categories have been in place for a year or more. Methods Clinical Toxicology vol. 50 no. 10 2012 AAPCC 2011 Annual Report of the NPDS Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. no further information is available. Exposure cases are followed to obtain the most precise medical outcome possible. Depending on the case specifics, most calls are “closed” within a few hours of the initial call. Some calls regarding complex hospitalized patients or cases resulting in death may remain open for weeks or months while data continue to be collected. Follow-up calls provide a proven mechanism for monitoring the appropriateness of management recommendations, augmenting patient guidelines and providing poison prevention education, enabling continual updates of case information as well as obtaining final/known medical outcome status to make the data collected as accurate and complete as possible. Statistical Methods All tables except Tables 3B and 17B were generated directly by the NPDS web-based application and can thus be reproduced by each center. The figures and statistics in Tables 3B and 17B were created using SAS JMP version 9.0.0 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC) on summary counts generated by the NPDS web-based application. NPDS Surveillance As previously noted, all of the active US PCs upload case data automatically to NPDS. This unique near real-time upload is the foundation of the NPDS surveillance system. This makes possible both spatial and temporal case volume and case-based surveillance. NPDS software allows creation of volume and case-based definitions. Definitions can be applied to national, regional, state, or ZIP code coverage areas. Geocentric definitions can also be created. This functionality is available not only to the AAPCC surveillance team, but to every regional PC. PCs also have the ability to share NPDS real-time surveillance technology with external organizations such as their state and local health departments or other regulatory agencies. Another NPDS feature is the ability to generate system alerts on adverse drug events and other drug or commercial products of public health interest like contaminated food or product recalls. Thus NPDS can provide real-time adverse event monitoring and surveillance for resilience response and situational awareness. Surveillance definitions can be created to monitor a variety of volume parameters or case based definitions on any desired substance or commercial product in the Micromedex Poisindex products database and/or set of clinical effects or other parameters. The products database contains over 390,000 entries. Surveillance definitions may be constructed using volume or case-based definitions with a variety of mathematical options and historical baseline periods from 1 to 11 years. NPDS surveillance tools include: • • • • • Volume Alert Surveillance Definitions Total Call Volume Human Exposure Call Volume Animal Exposure Call Volume Information Call Volume Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 • • 919 Clinical Effects Volume (signs and symptoms, or laboratory abnormalities) Case-Based Surveillance Definitions utilizing various NPDS data fields linked in Boolean expressions 䊊 䊊 䊊 䊊 Substance Clinical Effects Species Medical Outcome and others Incoming data is monitored continuously and anomalous signals generate an automated email alert to the AAPCC’s surveillance team or designated regional PC or public health agency staff. These anomaly alerts are reviewed daily by the AAPCC surveillance team, the regional PC, or the public health agency that created the surveillance definition. When reports of potential public health significance are detected, additional information is obtained via the NPDS surveillance correspondence system or phone as appropriate from reporting PCs. The regional PC then alerts their respective state or local health departments. Public health issues are brought to the attention of the Health Studies Branch, Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This unique near real-time tracking ability is a unique feature offered by NPDS and the regional PCs. AAPCC Surveillance Team clinical and medical toxicologists review surveillance definitions on a regular basis to fine-tune the queries. CDC, as well as State and local health departments with NPDS access as granted by their respective regional PCs, also have the ability to create surveillance definitions for routine surveillance tasks or to respond to emerging public health events. Fatality Case Review and Abstract Selection NPDS fatality cases can be recorded as DEATH or DEATH (INDIRECT REPORT). Medical outcome of death is by direct report. Death (indirect reports) reports are deaths that the PC acquired from medical examiners or media, but did not manage or answer any questions related specifically to that death. Although PCs may report death as an outcome, the death may not be the direct result of the exposure. We define exposure-related fatality as a death judged by the AAPCC Fatality Review Team to be at least contributory to the exposure. The definitions used for the Relative Contribution to Fatality (RCF) classification are defined in Appendix B and the methods to select abstracts for publications is described in Appendix C. For details of the AAPCC fatality review process, see the 2008 annual report.1 Pediatric Fatality Case Review A focused Pediatric Fatality Review team, comprised 4 pediatric toxicologists, in this year evaluated cases in patients under 18 years of age. The panel reviewed the documentation of all such cases, with specific focus on the conditions behind the poisoning exposure and on finding commonality which might inform efforts at prevention. The 66 cases Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. 920 A. C. Bronstein et al. reviewed exhibited a bimodal age distribution. Exposures causing death in children 5 years of age were mostly coded as “Unintentional-General”, while those in ages over 12 years were mostly “Intentional”. Often the Reason Code did not capture the complexities of the case. For example, there were few mentions of details such as the involvement of law enforcement or child protective services. While there were some complete and informative reports, in many narratives the circumstances which preceded the exposure thought responsible for the death were unclear or absent. In response to these findings, the pediatric fatality review team developed and distributed Pediatric Narrative Guidelines for this year, with specific attention to the root cause of these cases. Poison centers are requested to heed these guidelines and the need for a more in-depth investigation of “causality.” Results Information Calls to Poison Centers Data from 1,203,282 information calls to PCs in 2011 (Table 1C) was transmitted to NPDS, including calls in Table 1A.

Figure 2 shows that All Drug ID calls decreased dramatically in mid 2009, again in late 2010 and late 2011 (no regression was fit to these data). Law enforcement Drug ID Calls also showed a declining rate of increase. The most frequent information call was for Drug ID, comprising 715,544 calls to PCs during the year. Of these, 423,992 (59.3%) were identified as drugs with known abuse potential; however, these cases were categorized based on the drug’s abuse potential without knowledge of whether abuse was actually intended. While the number of Drug Information calls decreased 24.1% from 2010 (942,614 calls) to 2011 (715,544 calls), the distribution of these call types remained steady at 14.8% and 14.5%, respectively, of all information request calls. The most common drug information requests were in regard to therapeutic use and indications, followed by drug–drug interactions, questions about dosage and inquiries of adverse effects. Environmental inquiries comprised 1.9% of all information calls. Of these environmental inquiries, questions related to cleanup of mercury (thermometers and other) remained the most common followed by questions involving pesticides. Of all the information calls, poison information comprised 5.6% of the requests with inquiries involving general toxicity the most common followed by questions involving food preparation practices, plant toxicity and safe use of household products. Exposure Calls to Poison Centers In 2011, the participating PCs logged 3,624,063 total encounters including 2,334,004 closed human exposure cases (Table 1A), 80,266 animal exposures (Table 1B), 1,203,282 information calls (Table 1C), 6,243 human-confirmed nonexposures, and 268 animal-confirmed non-exposures. An additional 674 calls were still open at the time of database lock. The cumulative AAPCC database now contains almost 56 million human exposure case records (Table 1A). A total of 14,560,932 information calls have been logged by NPDS since the year 2001. Figure 1 shows the human exposures, information calls and animal exposures by day since January 1, 2001.

Information Calls are declining more rapidly than the quadratic regression this year, and Animal Exposure Calls have likewise been declining since mid-2005. A hallmark of PC case management is the use of follow-up calls to monitor case progress and medical outcome. US PCs made 2,785,633 follow-up calls in 2011. Follow-up calls were done in 46.8% of human exposure cases. One follow-up call was made in 23.0% of human exposure cases, and multiple follow-up calls (range 2–132) were placed in 23.8% of cases. Figure 3 shows a graphic summary and analyses of Health Care Facility (HCF) Exposure and HCF Information calls. HCF Exposure Calls did not depart from linearity (continued to increase at a steady rate) while the rate of HCF Information Calls has been declining since early 2005. This linearly increasing use of the PCs for the more serious exposures (HCF calls) is important in the face of the declining growth of all exposure and information calls. The 2 May 2006 exposure data spike on the figure was the result of 602 children in a Midwest school reporting a noxious odor which caused anxiety, but resolved without sequelae. Tables 22A (Nonpharmaceuticals) and 22B (Pharmaceuticals) provide summary demographic data on patient age, reason for exposure, medical outcome, and use of a health care facility for all 2,334,004 human exposure cases, presented by substance categories. Column 1: Name of the major, minor generic categories and their associated generic substance name. Column 2: No. of Case Mentions (all exposures) in grey shading, displays the number of times the specific generic code was reported in all human exposure cases. If a human exposure case has multiple instances of a specific generic code it is only counted once. Column 3: No. of Single Exposures This column was previously named ‘No. of Single Exposures’ and was renamed in the 2009 report for clarity. This column displays the number of human exposure cases that identified only one substance (one case, one substance).

Black lines show least-squares second order regression–both linear and second order (quadratic) terms were statistically significant for each of the 3 regressions. The succeeding columns (Age, Reason, Treatment Site, and Outcome) show selected detail from these single-substance exposure cases. Death cases include both cases that have the outcome of Death or Death (indirect report). These death cases are not limited by the relative contribution to fatality. Tables 22A and 22B restrict the breakdown columns to single-substance cases. Prior to 2007, when multi-substance exposures were included, a relatively innocuous substance could be mentioned in a death column when, for example, the death was attributed to an antidepressant, opioid, or cyanide. This subtlety was not always appreciated by the user of this table. The restriction of the breakdowns to singlesubstance exposures should increase precision and reduce misrepresentation of the results in this unique by-substance table. Single substance cases reflect the majority (90%) of all exposures. In contrast, only 42% of fatalities are single substance exposures (Table 5). Tables 22A and 22B tabulate 2,719,970 substanceexposures, of which 2,090,698 were single-substance exposures, including 1,071,939 (51.3%) nonpharmaceuticals and 1,018,759 (48.7%) pharmaceuticals. In 19.0% of single-substance exposures that involved pharmaceutical substances, the reason for exposure was intentional, compared to only 3.5% when the exposure involved a nonpharmaceutical substance. Correspondingly, treatment in a health care facility was provided in a higher percentage of exposures that involved pharmaceutical substances (28.8%) compared with nonpharmaceutical substances (15.1%). Exposures to pharmaceuticals also had more severe outcomes. Of single-substance exposure-related fatal cases, 521 (0.85%) were pharmaceuticals compared with 242 (0.02%) nonpharmaceuticals.

A male predominance was found among cases involving children younger than 13 years, but this gender distribution was reversed in teenagers and adults, with females comprising the majority of reported exposures. Caller Site and Exposure Site As shown in Table 2, of the 2,334,004 human exposures reported, 73.2% of calls originated from a residence (own or other) but 93.6% actually occurred at a residence (own or other). Another 18.8% of calls were made from a health care facility. Beyond residences, exposures occurred in the workplace in 1.6% of cases, schools (1.2%), health care facilities (0.3%), and restaurants or food services (0.2%). Exposures in Pregnancy Exposure during pregnancy occurred in 7,834 women (0.34% of all human exposures). Of those with known pregnancy duration (n 7,189), 29.9% occurred in the first trimester, 38.2% in the second trimester, and 31.9% in the third trimester.

There was one death in a pregnant female in 2010. Chronicity Most human exposures, 2,069,586 (88.7%) were acute cases (single, repeated or continuous exposure occurring over 8 hours or less) compared to 1205 acute cases of 2765 fatalities (43.6%). Chronic exposures (continuous or repeated exposures occurring over 8 hours) comprised 2% (48,753) of all human exposures. Acute-on-chronic exposures (single exposure that was preceded by a continuous, repeated, or intermittent exposure occurring over a period greater than eight hours) numbered 185,793 (8.0%). Reason for Exposure The reason category for most human exposures was unintentional (80.3%) with unintentional general (55.5%), therapeutic error (12.1%) and unintentional misuse (5.4%) of all exposures (Table 6A). Scenarios Of the total 299,832 therapeutic errors, the most common scenarios for all ages included: inadvertent double-dosing (28.6%), wrong medication taken or given (15.3%), other incorrect dose (13.6%), doses given/taken too close together (9.6%), and inadvertent exposure to someone else’s medication (8.5%). The types of therapeutic errors observed are different for each age group and are summarized in Table 6B. Reason by Age Intentional exposures accounted for 15.8% of human exposures. Suicidal intent was suspected in 9.6% of cases, intentional misuse in 2.5% and intentional abuse in 2.7%.

Intentional exposures were more frequently reported than unintentional exposures in patients aged 13–19 years. In contrast, of the 1,158 reported fatalities with RCF 1–3, the majority reason reported for children 5 years was unintentional while most fatalities in adults ( 20 years) were intentional (Table 8). Route of Exposure Ingestion was the route of exposure in 83.2% of cases (Table 9), followed in frequency by dermal (7.0%), inhalation/ nasal (6.1%), and ocular routes (4.3%). For the 1,158 exposurerelated fatalities, ingestion (84.3%), inhalation/nasal (10.2%), and parenteral (4.6%) were the predominant exposure routes. Each exposure case may have more than one route. Clinical Effects The NPDS database allows for the coding of up to 131 individual clinical effects (signs, symptoms, or laboratory abnormalities) for each case. Each clinical effect can be further defined as related, not related, or unknown if related. Clinical effects were coded in 852,963 (36.5%) cases. (17.9% had 1 effect, 9.5% had 2 effects, 5.1% had 3 effects, 2.1% had 4 effects, 0.9% had 5 effects, and 1.0% had 5 effects coded). Of clinical effects coded, 79.1% were deemed related to the exposure, 9.4% were considered not related, and 11.5% were coded as unknown if related. 926 A. C. Bronstein et al.

Treatment in a health care facility was rendered in 26.4% of cases. Of the 615,869 cases managed in a health care facility, 295,110 (47.9%) were treated and released, 101,175 (16.4%) were admitted for critical care, and 65,845 (10.7%) were admitted to a noncritical unit. The percentage of patients treated in a health care facility varied considerably with age. Only 11.3% of children 5 years or younger and only 13.3% of children between 6 and 12 years were managed in a health care facility compared to 50.1% of teenagers (13–19 years) and 41.1% of adults (age 20 years).

This ranking provides an indication where prevention efforts might be focused, as well as the types of exposures PCs regularly manage. It is relevant to know whether exposures to these substances are increasing or decreasing. To better understand these relationships, we examined exposures per year over the last 11 years for the change over time for each of the 67 major generic categories via least squares linear regression. The exposure calls per year over this period were increasing for 40 and decreasing for 27 of the 67 categories. The change over time for the 11 yearly values was statistically significant (p 0.05) for 51 of the 67 categories. Table 17B shows the 25 categories which were increasing most rapidly. Statistical significance of the linear regressions can be verified by noting the 95% confidence interval on the rate of increase excludes zero for all 25 of these categories. Figure 5 shows the linear regressions for the top 4 increasing categories in Table 17B. Tables 17C and 17D present exposure results for children and adults, respectively, and show the differences Unknown child measures to enhance elimination in the treatment of patients reported in the NPDS database. These should be interpreted as minimum frequencies because of the limitations of telephone data gathering. Ipecac-induced emesis for poisoning continues to decline as shown in Tables 16A and 16B. Ipecac was administered in only 98 (0.01%) pediatric exposures in 2011. The continued decrease in ipecac syrup use over the last 2 decades was likely a result of ipecac use guidelines issued in 1997 by the American Academy of Clinical Toxicology; European Association of Poisons Centres and Clinical Toxicologists and updated in 2004.5,6 In a separate report, the American Academy of Pediatrics concluded not only that ipecac should no longer be used routinely as a home treatment strategy, but also recommended disposal of home ipecac stocks.7 A decline was also observed since the early 1990s for reported use of activated charcoal. While not as dramatic as the decline in use of ipecac, reported use of activated charcoal decreased from 3.7% of pediatric cases in 1993 to just 1.2% in 2011. aTotal number of cases where death was an outcome (1,503 1,262) is greater than the number of fatalities (1,158) judged to be exposure-related (relative contribution to fatality of 1-Undoubtedly responsible, 2-Probably responsible, or 3-Contributory). 12.6 4.3 4.2 2.8 2.4 26.4 1.2 1.7 0.8 100.0 17.98 25,379 15.97 15.25 41,431 26.08 2.83 22,821 14.36 0.17 2,180 1.37 0.00 55 0.03 15.28 8,603 5.41 43.80 40,760 25.66 2.36 13,319 8.38 2.32 4,295 2.70 0.00 32 0.02 100.0 158,875 100.00 295,110 101,175 96,812 65,845 56,927 615,869 28,708 40,316 18,158 2,334,004 No effect 289,501 25.29 25,373 Minor effect 91,142 7.96 21,527 Moderate effect 10,320 0.90 3,989 Major effect 838 0.07 233 Death 31 0.00 7 No follow-up, nontoxic 220,924 19.30 21,560 No follow-up, minimal toxicity 497,075 43.42 61,817 No follow-up, potentially toxic 19,830 1.73 3,334 Unrelated effect 15,057 1.32 3,277 Death, indirect report 11 0.00 4 Total 1,144,729 100.00 141,121 69.9 N 1,630,953 Total % Table 11.

Table 17E reports the 25 categories of substances most frequently involved in pediatric ( 5 years) fatalities in 2011. Table 17F reports the 25 Drug ID categories most frequently queried in 2011. Unknown is the 4th and Miscellaneous the 15th most often identified drug category. These categories include medications which could not be identified, indicating the value of Drug ID information to the AAPCC, public health, public safety, and regulatory agencies. Internetbased resources do not afford the caller the option to speak with a health care professional if needed. Proper resources to continue this vital public service are essential, especially since the top 10 substance categories include antibiotics as well as drugs with widespread use and abuse potential such as opioids and benzodiazepines. Table 17G reports the 25 substance categories most frequently reported in exposures involving pregnant patients. Changes from Last Year Figure 4 shows the year-to-year changes for 2011 compared to 2010 for all encounters ( 8.3%), exposure calls ( 2.2%) and for several other major categories. The graphic and bottom data display break down the change in exposure calls by outcome category. Although overall exposure calls have decreased by 51,808 calls ( 2.2%), there is a consistent increase in the exposures with a more serious outcome (moderate, major or death) and as a group increased by 10,889 encounters ( 6.8%). Less serious calls (including Minor Effect) decreased by 62,698 encounters ( 3.4%). Thus we see a consistent increase in exposure calls from HCFs (Fig. 3) and for the more severe exposures (Fig. 4), despite a decrease in calls involving less severe exposures. Distribution of Suicides Table 19A shows the modest variation in the distribution of suicides and pediatric deaths over the past 2 decades as reported to the NPDS national database. Within the last decade, the percent of exposures determined to be suspected suicides ranged from 31.3% to 54.3% and the percent of pediatric cases ranged from 1.5% to 3.2%. The relatively large change seen for 2011 reflects the large increase in death, indirect reports this year. Analyses of suicides and pediatric deaths for Direct and Indirect reports are shown in Table 19B. Table 13. Duration of clinical effects by medical outcome.

The 25 most commonly involved plant species and categories account for 37.5% of all plant exposures reported. The top 3 categories in the table are essentially synonymous for unknown plant and comprise 11.5% (5,458/47,561) of all plant exposures. For a variety of 931 reasons it was not possible to make a precise identification in these 3 groups. The top most frequent plant exposures where a positive plant identification was made were (descending order): Spathiphyllum species (Botanic name), Phytolacca americana (L.) (Botanic name), Ilex species (Botanic name), Philodendron (Species unspecified) and Euphorbia pulcherrima (Willd.) (Botanic name).

Of these 2,765 cases, 1,995 were judged exposure-related fatalities (RCF 1-Undoubtedly responsible, 2-Probably responsible, or 3-Contributory). The remaining 770 cases were judged as follows: 95 as RCF 4-Probably not responsible, 37 as 5-Clearly not responsible, and 638 as 6-Unknown. Deaths are sorted in Table 21 according to the category, then substance deemed most likely responsible for the death (Cause Rank), and then by patient age. The Cause Rank permits the regional PC to judge 2 or more substances as indistinguishable in terms of cause, e.g., 2 substances which appear equally likely to have caused the death could have Substance Rank of 1, 2 and Cause Rank of 1, 1. Additional agents implicated are listed below the primary agent in the order of their contribution to the fatality. As shown in Table 5, a single substance was implicated in 90.0% of reported human exposures, and 10.0% of patients were exposed to 2 or more drugs or products. The exposurerelated fatalities involved a single substance in 489 cases (42.2%), 2 substances in 260 cases (22.5%), 3 in 168 cases (14.5%), and 4 or more in the balance of the cases.

Results do Pregnancy and Fatalities A total of 26 deaths of pregnant women have been reported from the years 2000 through 2011. The majority (22 of 26) were intentional exposures (misuse, abuse or suspected suicide). There was 1 death in a pregnant women reported to NPDS in 2011. A 19 year-old female, 20 weeks gestation, ingested an unknown amount of methamphetamine while fleeing police. She was agitated and combative in the ED, BP 170/80, HR 170, T 41.7°C. She suffered a cardiac arrest in the ED. She was intubated, resuscitated, lavaged, given activated charcoal, cooling measures, benzodiazepines for sedation, and admitted to the ICU. She regained no neurologic function, delivered a stillborn infant, and died on hospital day 3. The fatality was judged undoubtedly responsible to the methamphetamine. AAPCC Surveillance Results A key component of the NPDS surveillance system is the variety of monitoring tools available to the NPDS user community. In addition to AAPCC national surveillance definitions, 37 regional PCs utilize NPDS as part of their surveillance programs. Three state health departments plus CDC run surveillance definitions in NPDS. Since Surveillance Anomaly 1, generated at 2:00 pm EDT on 17 September 2006, over 191,000 anomalies have been detected. More than 1000 were confirmed as being of public health significance with regional PCs working collaboratively with their local and state health departments and in some instances CDC on the public health issues identified. At the time of this report, 380 surveillance definitions run continuously, monitoring case and clinical effects volume and a variety of case-based definitions from food poisoning to nerve agents. These definitions represent the surveillance work by many regional PCs, state health departments, the AAPCC, and the Health Studies Branch, Division of Environmental Hazards and Health Effects, National Center for Environmental Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Automated surveillance continues to remain controversial as a viable methodology to detect the index case of a public health event. Uniform evaluation algorithms are not available to determine the optimal methodologies.8 Less controversial is the benefit to situational awareness that NPDS can provide.9 Typical NPDS surveillance data detects a response to an event rather than event prediction. This aids in situational awareness and resilience during and after a public health event. Table 19B.

Discussion The exposure cases and information requests reported by PCs in 2011 do not reflect the full extent of PC efforts which also include poison prevention activities and public and health care professional education programs. NPDS exposure data may be considered as providing “numerator data”, in the absence of a true denominator, that is, we do not know the number of actual exposures that occur in the population. NPDS data covers only those exposures which are reported to PCs. NPDS 2000–2011 call volume data clearly demonstrate a continuing decrease in exposure calls. This decline has been apparent and increasing since mid-2007 and reflects the decreasing use of the PC for less severe exposures. However, in contrast, during this same period, exposures with a more severe outcome (death, major, moderate) and health care facility calls have continued a consistent increase. Possible contributors to the declining PC access include: declining US birth (especially since exposure rates are much higher in children 5 years of age), increasing use of text over voice communication, and increased use of and reliance on internet search engines and web resources. To meet our public health goals, poison centers will need to understand and meet the public’s 21st century communication preferences. We are concerned that failure to respond to these changes may result in a retro-shift with more people seeking medical care for exposures that could have been managed at home by a poison center. Likewise minor exposures may progress to more severe Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 morbidity and mortality because of incorrect internet information or no telephone management. The net effect could be more severe poisoning outcomes because fewer people took advantage of poison center services, with a resultant increased burden on the national healthcare infrastructure. NPDS regression analyses indicate that all analgesic exposures including opioids and sedatives are increasing year after year. This trend is shown in Table 17B and Fig. 5. NPDS data mirror CDC data that demonstrate similar findings.9 Thus NPDS provides a real-time view of these public health issues without the need for data source extrapolations. One of the limitations of NPDS data has been the perceived lack of fatality case volume compared to other reporting sources. However, when change over time is studied, NPDS is clearly consistent with other public health fatality analyses. One of the issues leading to this concern is the fact that medical record systems seldom have common output streams. This is particularly apparent with the various electronic medical record systems available. It is important to build a federated approach similar to the one modeled by NPDS to allow data sharing, for example, between hospital emergency departments and other medical record systems including medical examiner offices nationwide. Enhancements to NPDS can promote interoperability between NPDS and electronic medical records systems to better trend poison-related morbidity and mortality in the US and internationally. 942 A. C. Bronstein et al. Summary Unintentional and intentional exposures continue to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the US. The near real-time, always current status of NPDS represents a national public health resource to collect and monitor US exposure cases and information calls. Changes in encounters in 2011 compared to 2010 shown in Fig. 4 include: • Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. • • • • Total encounters (all exposure and information calls) decreased by 8.3%; All information calls decreased 17.9%, Drug ID calls decreased 24.1%, and human exposures decreased 2.2%; Health care facility (HCF) information calls decreased 2.9% while HCF exposures increased 4.8%; Human exposures with less serious outcomes decreased 3.4% while those with more serious outcomes (minor, moderate, major or death) increased 6.8%; The categories of substance exposures increasing most rapidly are: analgesics, followed by sedative/ hypnotics/antipsychotics, cardiovascular drugs, antihistamines. These data support the continued value of poison center expertise and need for specialized medical toxicology information to manage the more severe exposures, despite a decrease in calls involving less severe exposures. Poison centers must consider newer communication approaches that match current public communication patterns in addition to the traditional telephone call. The continuing mission of NPDS is to provide a nationwide infrastructure for public health surveillance for all types of exposures, public health event identification, resilience response and situational awareness tracking. NPDS is a model system for the nation and global public health.

Appendix B – Data Definitions Reason for Exposure NPDS classifies all calls as either EXPOSURE (concern about an exposure to a substance) or INFORMATION (no exposed human or animal). A call may provide information about one or more exposed person or animal (receptors). Specialists in Poison Information (SPIs) coded the reasons for exposure reported by callers to PCs according to the following definitions: Unintentional general: All unintentional exposures not otherwise defined below. Environmental: Any passive, non-occupational exposure that results from contamination of air, water, or soil. Environmental exposures are usually caused by manmade contaminants. Occupational: An exposure that occurs as a direct result of the person being on the job or in the workplace. Therapeutic error: An unintentional deviation from a proper therapeutic regimen that results in the wrong dose, incorrect route of administration, administration to the wrong person, or administration of the wrong substance. Only exposures to medications or products used as medications are included. Drug interactions resulting from unintentional administration of drugs or foods which are known to interact are also included. Unintentional misuse: Unintentional improper or incorrect use of a nonpharmaceutical substance. Unintentional misuse differs from intentional misuse in that the exposure was unplanned or not foreseen by the patient. Bite/sting: All animal bites and stings, with or without envenomation, are included. Food poisoning: Suspected or confirmed food poisoning; ingestion of food contaminated with microorganisms is included. Unintentional unknown: An exposure determined to be unintentional, but the exact reason is unknown. Suspected suicidal: An exposure resulting from the inappropriate use of a substance for reasons that are suspected to be self-destructive or manipulative. Intentional misuse: An exposure resulting from the intentional improper or incorrect use. Medical Outcome No effect: The patient did not develop any signs or symptoms as a result of the exposure. Minor effect: The patient developed some signs or symptoms as a result of the exposure, but they were minimally botherCopyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 1139 some and generally resolved rapidly with no residual disability or disfigurement. A minor effect is often limited to the skin or mucus membranes (e.g., self-limited gastrointestinal symptoms, drowsiness, skin irritation, first-degree dermal burn, sinus tachycardia without hypotension, and transient cough). Moderate effect: The patient exhibited signs or symptoms as a result of the exposure that were more pronounced, more prolonged, or more systemic in nature than minor symptoms. Usually, some form of treatment is indicated. Symptoms were not life-threatening, and the patient had no residual disability or disfigurement (e.g., corneal abrasion, acid-base disturbance, high fever, disorientation, hypotension that is rapidly responsive to treatment, and isolated brief seizures that respond readily to treatment). Major effect: The patient exhibited signs or symptoms as a result of the exposure that were life-threatening or resulted in significant residual disability or disfigurement (e.g., repeated seizures or status epilepticus, respiratory compromise requiring intubation, ventricular tachycardia with hypotension, cardiac or respiratory arrest, esophageal stricture, and disseminated intravascular coagulation). Death: The patient died as a result of the exposure or as a direct complication of the exposure. Not followed, judged as nontoxic exposure: No follow-up calls were made to determine the outcome of the exposure because the substance implicated was nontoxic, the amount implicated was insignificant, or the route of exposure was unlikely to result in a clinical effect. Not followed, minimal clinical effects possible: No follow-up calls were made to determine the patient’s outcome because the exposure was likely to result in only minimal toxicity of a trivial nature. (The patient was expected to experience no more than a minor effect.). Unable to follow, judged as a potentially toxic exposure: The patient was lost to follow-up, refused follow-up, or was not followed, but the exposure was significant and may have resulted in a moderate, major, or fatal outcome. Unrelated effect: The exposure was probably not responsible for the effect. Confirmed nonexposure: This outcome option was coded to designate cases where there was reliable and objective evidence that an exposure initially believed to have occurred actually never occurred (e.g., all missing pills are later located). All cases coded as confirmed nonexposure are excluded from this report. Death, indirect report: Death, indirect report are deaths that the poison center acquired from medical examiner or media, but did not manage nor answer any questions about the death. Relative Contribution to Fatality (RCF) The definitions used for the Relative Contribution to Fatality (RCF) classification were as follows: Undoubtedly responsible - In the opinion of the CRT the Clinical Case Evidence establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the SUBSTANCES actually caused the death. Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. 1140 A. C. Bronstein et al. Probably responsible - In the opinion of the CRT the Clinical Case Evidence suggests that the SUBSTANCES caused the death, but some reasonable doubt remained. Contributory - In the opinion of the CRT the Clinical Case Evidence establishes that the SUBSTANCES contributed to the death, but did not solely cause the death. That is, the SUBSTANCES alone would not have caused the death, but combined with other factors, were partially responsible for the death. Probably not responsible - In the opinion of the CRT the Clinical Case Evidence establishes to a reasonable probability, but not conclusively, that the SUBSTANCES associated with the death did not cause the death Clearly not responsible - In the opinion of the CRT the Clinical Case Evidence establishes beyond a reasonable doubt that the SUBSTANCES did not cause this death. Unknown - In the opinion of the CRT the Clinical Case Evidence is insufficient to impute or refute a causative relationship for the SUBSTANCES in this death. Appendix C – Abstracts of Selected Cases Selection of Abstracts for Publication The abstracts included in Appendix C were selected for publication in a 3-stage process consisting of qualifying, ranking and reading. Qualifying was based on the RCF -- only RCF 1-Undoubtedly Responsible, 2-Probably Responsible or 3-Contributory were eligible for publication. Fatalities by Indirect report were excluded beginning with the 2008 annual report. Ranking was based on the number of substances (1/N) and weighted case score. The case-weighting factors were the averages chosen based on review team recommendations in 2006. Each case score was multiplied by the respective factors to obtain a weighted publication score: Hospital records * 4.4 Postmortem * 7.6 Blood levels * 6.9 Quality/Completeness * 6.4 Novelty/Educational value * 6.0. Scores were normalized (z-score) within each reviewer before the final weighting: 33% for 1/N and 67% for weighted case scores. The top ranked abstracts (200 ties) were each read by individual reviewers (See Appendix A) and the 2 managers (Cantilena and Spyker). Each reader judged each abstract as “publish” or “omit” and all abstracts receiving 5 or more of 8 publish votes were selected, further edited and crossreviewed by the 2 managers. Abstracts Abstracts of the cases were selected (see Selection of Abstracts for Publication, above) from the human fatalities judged related to be an exposure as reported to US PCs in 2010. A structured format for abstracts was required in the PC preparation of the abstracts and was used in the abstracts presented. Abbreviations, units and normal ranges omitted from the abstracts are given at the end of this appendix Case 1. Acute ethanol ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 4-y/o black female was found unresponsive in bed by her father around midnight, with a bottle of rum on the floor near her bed. The bottle was missing and suspected to have been ingested by the 4-y/o sometime that evening. Past Medical History: No known past medical history, did not take any medications or herbal/dietary supplements. Physical Exam: 4-y/o female arrived with asystole cardiac arrest. She was intubated and resuscitated but remained unresponsive, acidotic, tachycardic, and became hypotensive. Right pupil unreactive, left pupil sluggishly reactive. Laboratory Data: ABG-pH 6.7/pCO2 45/pO2 94, Na 138 Cl 102 BUN 40 K 6.8 HCO3 6 Cr 0.7 Glu 15 Alk phos 365, bilirubin 0.3, Ca 8.7, AST 591, ALT 1296, ethanol 272 mg/dL; salicylate and acetaminophen not detected. UDS negative. Clinical Course: After resuscitation, the patient was transported to a tertiary care hospital via helicopter ~4 hrs after being first found. Prior to transfer, the patient was given D5NS IV for volume replacement and management of hypoglycemia. Hemodialysis was also considered, but the patient was too hypotensive at the time. She was admitted to the PICU and given dopamine and sodium bicarbonate boluses. The child remained acidotic with pH 6.9 and hypoglycemic with glu 45 despite IV dextrose. ~7 hrs after being found, the patient had cardiac arrest from which she could not be resuscitated. Autopsy Findings: The antemortem blood alcohol measured at the crime laboratory was 0.202 g/L and the AST to ALT ratio was 2. Liver revealed diffuse hepatic microsteatosis; subdural/subarachnoid hemorrhage and cortical contusions of frontal lobes; subcutaneous hemorrhage in posterior neck and back. (injuries to head, neck, back not thought to be severe enough to have caused death); mildly elevated 17 hydroprogesterone (8 ng/ml); paratubal cysts. Case 31. Acute methanol ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 41y/o male with a history of alcohol abuse had been drinking at home and his family left him in a state that they assumed was typical intoxication. When they returned several hours later he was unresponsive. The family called EMS, who found the patient to have agonal breathing, pupils small and fixed, T 32.8°C. He was transported to the ED. Past Medical History: Alcohol abuse. Physical Exam: He was unresponsive, with fixed, small pupils. Laboratory Data: At the initial ED: K 6.0, HCO3 6.5, Cr 2.1, pH 6.6.

After 5 hr of dialysis, his methanol level was 72 mg/dL without clinical improvement, HR 106, BP 138/84, RR 10, O2 sat 95%. On Day 4 methanol was not detected, but, he remained unresponsive with fixed pupils and no corneal, cough, or gag reflexes. Head CT showed cerebral edema with evidence of transtentorial and impending cerebellar tonsillar herniation. An apnea test showed no signs of respiratory effort after 8 min. He was declared brain dead, comfort measures were instituted and he expired 25 min later. Autopsy Findings: No autopsy was done. Case 110. Acute methanol and organophosphate ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 55-y/o male was brought to the ED by police complaining of abdominal pain and diarrhea. The previous day, police had been chasing him on foot, and the patient hid in a wooded area prior to capture. While climbing over a fence he had sustained a neck laceration that was stapled in the ED. He had been observed carrying a container, but the container was not recovered. The next day he was brought back to the ED because of profuse diarrhea and abdominal pain. The patient denied ingestion. He had been in a police holding cell for about a day before the second ED visit. Past Medical History: Hepatitis C, alcohol and methamphetamine abuse, but none for the last 6 months. No regular medications. Physical Exam: BP 133/80, HR 104, RR 14. T 34.9°C (tympanically), O2 sat 97% on room air. Patient was noted to smell of paint thinner.

Laboratory Data: WBC 20.6, Hgb 16.7, Hct 49.3, platelets 228, PTT 28, INR 1.1, ABG-pH 7.10/pCO2 18/pO2 121 on room air Na 138 Cl 98 BUN 17 K 4.5 HCO3 7 Cr 1.2 Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 Glu 177 1141 Methanol 40 mg/dL ethylene glycol, isopropanol, acetone not detected. Clinical Course: The patient received oral vancomycin and IV metronidazole for presumed C. difficile enterocolitis. He became progressively more obtunded and was intubated. A sodium bicarbonate infusion was begun for high anion gap academia. Methanol was detected and the patient received 6 hr of hemodialysis (no fomepizole was given). Repeat methanol was 10 mg/dL. The patient remained minimally responsive despite correction of acidosis. A brain MRI was unremarkable. Based on the prognosis the family opted for institution of comfort measures and he expired on Day 8. Six weeks after the patient expired, police investigators located a 355 mL container about half full of gas line antifreeze (99% methanol). A second 355 mL container was about 1/4 full of chlorpyrifos. Autopsy Findings: Bilateral acute bronchopneumonia with hemorrhagic pulmonary edema, and multiple lung abscesses; acute cerebral edema and congestion. Methanol was not detected, and there was no testing for organophosphates or cholinesterase activity. Case 112. Acute ethylene glycol ingestion: probably responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 59-y/o male was seen in the urgent care center for dyspnea, given a bronchodilator, and sent to the ED when his dyspnea persisted. He had been drinking heavily the night before, but there was no history of other acute ingestion of medications or toxins. Past Medical History: Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, depression, and previous suicide attempts 2. Physical Exam:. In the ED ee was alert and anxious; BP 215/114, HR 106, RR 32, T 37 C, O2 sat 96% on room air. His chest was clear. There were no focal neurological findings and no signs of leg or calf swelling.

UDS negative, CxR perihilar infiltrates suggestive of failure vs. pneumonia. Urinalysis was positive for a small amount of blood on dipstick and the presence of calcium phosphate crystals on microscopic exam. Clinical Course: In the ED he received lorazepam for anxiety, but then he showed decreased respiratory effort and became cyanotic so he was intubated and placed on a ventilator. IV fluids and sodium bicarbonate were given and he was admitted to the ICU. On Day 2 his readings were BUN 15, Cr 2.94. Ethylene glycol from admission came back 38 mg/dL and he was started on fomepizole and hemodialysis. He remained unconscious and head CT Day 3 showed loss of grey-white matter differentiation in the occipital lobe with low attenuation in central cranial structures. An MRI was consistent with global anoxic brain injury. He remained 1142 A. C. Bronstein et al. Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. unresponsive over the next week, the family opted for institution of comfort measures and he expired. Autopsy Findings: Kidney and liver showed geographic patterns of discoloration, which is suggestive of infarcts. The heart showed cardiomegaly, biventricular hypertrophy, severe atherosclerosis, and old infarct scars. There was severe bilateral pulmonary congestion and edema. There were multiple cerebrocortical infarcts. The coroner determined the cause of death to be acute ethylene glycol toxicity. Case 115. Acute disc battery ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 4-y/o female was found unresponsive, pulseless, and apneic. Past Medical History: Previously healthy. Physical Exam: Comatose, with blood coming from mouth and nares. Clinical Course: Child was brought to the ED as a suspected trauma. During resuscitation a chest radiograph was obtained to check positioning of the endotracheal tube and a button battery was noted in the esophagus. She received mechanical ventilation, IV fluids, epinephrine, blood transfusion, and was taken to operating room. An aortoesophageal fistula was found, but the child could not be resuscitated. Autopsy Findings: Esophagus to aorta fistula from erosion due to button battery. Case 117. Acute crotalinae envenomation bite/sting: contributory. Acute envenomation by Mojave rattlesnake (Crotalus scutulatus): contributory Scenario/Substances: A physician reported a 54-y/o male reportedly bitten by a Mojave rattlesnake 2 days earlier. The patient had been working at railroad in a rural area late at night picking up trash when he was bitten. He developed symptoms consistent with an allergic reaction and was treated by EMS with diphenhydramine and epinephrine. His co-worker reported that he had altered mental status soon after the bite. Past Medical History: Hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, previous traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder. Physical Exam: Bilateral puncture wounds to the hands with bilateral hand swelling.

Clinical Course: The patient was treated with antivenin (Polyvalent Immune Fab –4 vials on Day 1 and 10 vials on Day 2). He had no further coagulation abnormalities or significant progression of swelling. When he arrived at the ED, he had a large upper GI bleed and developed multi-organ system failure including acute renal failure and hypoxia refractory to intubation and ventilation with 100% O2. A CT chest showed no pulmonary emboli. The patient expired of multi-organ system failure on Day 6. Autopsy Findings: Not performed. Case 120. Acute-on-chronic, epinephrine ingestion: probably responsible. Scenario/Substances: This 28-y/o female used 30 doses of her epinephrine CFC inhaler, presumably to treat bronchospasm. She had a generalized seizure on that day and another on the following day. EMS was called to her home because of the recurrent convulsion, and they witnessed a generalized seizure and gave diazepam 5 mg IV. Past Medical History: Bronchospasm, depression. No seizure history. Medications: paroxetine, epinephrine CFC inhaler. Physical Exam: Nonverbal, but opened eyes after stimuli. Pupils 2 mm and sluggish, BP 111/82, HR 100–130 s; RR 26. Laboratory Data: Metabolic panel was normal, except her K was 3.2. Salicylate 5.3 mg/dL, ethanol and acetaminophen were not detected. EKG showed sinus tachycardia with prolonged QTc 508. Clinical Course: In the ED, her mental status worsened, becoming responsive only to painful stimuli. She had an additional seizure, and was given lorazepam 4 mg IV and loaded with 1 IV fosphenytoin. A CT and MRI of the brain showed basilar artery occlusion and had a large ischemic stroke. She was endotracheally intubated, and air-transport to a tertiary-care center where she underwent a successful cerebral angiogram and thrombectomy. On Day 2, she developed cerebral edema with herniation, brain death was declared, comfort measures were instituted, she expired, and organs were harvested. Autopsy Findings: No autopsy was performed. Case 124. Acute cyanide injection: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 33-y/o healthy female went to her boyfriend’s house to collect her things, while her brother waited outside. The boyfriend, a jeweler, stabbed the patient in the buttock with a syringe containing clear liquid and then drank from a cup containing clear liquid. The patient cried out for her brother, who ran upstairs and called EMS, who found the boyfriend was in cardiac arrest and the patient hypotensive and bradycardic. They were both transported to the ED, where the boyfriend was pronounced dead. EMS saw bottles containing ammonia and bleach on the kitchen table, and assumed that the deceased was stabbed with a syringe containing bleach and ammonia. When speaking to the detectives, they noted that the ammonia was purple in color, and bleach was white and cloudy, making it unlikely to be the source of clear liquid noted in the syringe. Past Medical History: Healthy. Physical Exam: In the ED, the patient was intubated, BP 80s/50s, and HR40. Her physical examination was otherwise unremarkable. The physicians couldn’t see the injection site. Laboratory Data: Initial VBG-pH 6.97/pCO2 42/HCO3 56/BE 10, O2 sat 66% on 100% FIO2 vent, ABG-pH 7.08/ pCO2 19/pO2 310/HCO3 6, O2 sat 99% on 100% FIO2 vent, lactate 20 mmol/L, cyanide 76 (reported 1 week later). Clinical Course. Vasopressors included dopamine, epinephrine, dobutamine, neosynephrine, and vasopressin. 5 g of hydroxocobalamin was given ~3 hr after admission (Hour Clinical Toxicology vol. 50 no. 10 2012 AAPCC 2011 Annual Report of the NPDS Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. 3), ABG-pH 6.76/pCO2 36/pO2 155/HCO3 5, Lactate 21.4 mmol/L, WBC 46, Hgb 13, Hct 43.8, platelets 164, Na 120, Bicarb 6, Cr 2.4, AST 700, ALT 200. ECG showed sinus bradycardia. She continued to have a significant metabolic acidemia with an elevated lactate. Hour 6 she received another 5 g hydroxocobalamin despite maximal supportive therapy and the patient died on Day 2. Detectives ultimately determined that the substance in the syringe and the cup from which the boyfriend drank contained cyanide. Autopsy Findings: The postmortem revealed decomposition of most body organs. Case 131. Acute fluoride ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 51-y/o healthy male who worked at a water treatment plant came to the ED stating he had ingested 3 tablespoons of sodium silicofluoride (98%) 1 hrs prior in a suicide attempt. Past Medical History: Healthy. Physical Exam: Normal appearing male; BP 175/94, HR 118, RR 20, T 36.3°C, O2 sat 98% on room air. Laboratory Data: Ca 9.2 (8.2 corrected); K 4.2; acetaminophen and salicylate were not detected. Clinical Course: The patient’s only complaint in the ED was bladder pain. At 3 hrs post ingestion he became agitated, developed a widened QRS complex with sinus bradycardia and became hypotensive (BP 80/50). He was given IV fluids, insulin, kayexalate, furosemide, CaCl2 (via peripheral line), 1 amp of sodium bicarbonate and 1 amp D50W. The ECG reverted to normal sinus rhythm. During this time the patient had an episode of severe respiratory impairment with agonal respirations that resolved with an albuterol treatment and supplemental oxygen by nasal cannula. He continued to complain of stomach pain for which he received hydromorphone. At ~5 hrs post ingestion, he became pulseless and was resuscitated with epinephrine, atropine and 2 amps of calcium chloride. The ECG showed a wide QRS with long PR interval and peaked T waves. ~2 hrs later, he again widened his QRS complex and had VT, then bradycardia and again became pulseless. Resuscitation was unsuccessful and he expired ~8 hrs after ingestion. Autopsy findings: Not performed. Case 133. Acute nitric acid, cocaine, clonazepam, morphine ingestion, unknown: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 53-y/o female came to the ED after intentional ingestion of 6–7 ounces of acid compound containing nitric acid, selenium and copper compounds; pH 0–1. Past Medical History: Multiple suicide attempts including self-inflicted gunshot to head and medication overdoses; history of bipolar disorder, crack cocaine abuse, and alcoholism. Physical Exam: Responsive, severe abdominal pain, throat irritation, hematemesis and asking staff to “just let her die”. BP 135/70, HR 84. Laboratory Data: Hgb 18, Hct 55, PT 13.5, INR 1.3; clonazepam 21 ng/mL; acetaminophen, salicylate and ethanol not detected. Blood screen positive for cocaine. Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 1143 Clinical Course: Upper endoscopy showed the gastrointestinal lining to be black; the patient was admitted to the ICU and received a proton pump inhibitor and sulcralfate with normal saline at 100 ml/h with morphine prn. Day 2: the patient had 2 cardiac arrests and expired during the second arrest. Autopsy Findings: The findings revealed acid injuries to the upper trachea and stomach. Toxicology revealed parent cocaine in postmortem blood and vitreous fluid, as well as breakdown products in ante- and postmortem blood, consistent with acute cocaine use. Postmortem blood screen was positive for cocaine, clonazepam 3.2 ng/mL, UDS was positive for benzodiazepine and cocaine. The cause of death was complications of acid ingestion. The manner of death was ruled a suicide. Case 134. Acute hydrofluoric acid ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 54-y/o male ingested about 1 oz of rust remover containing 1.92% hydrofluoric acid. Within 1 hr, he arrived at the ED with headache, nausea, abdominal pain and bloody emesis. Past Medical History: Insomnia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia. Physical Exam: Male patient with headache, nausea, abdominal pain, bloody emesis; BP 138/88, HR 78, RR 18, T 36.7°C.

Clinical Course: Initially the patient was given oral calcium tablets in the ED, he had a cardiac arrest, was resuscitated with defibrillation, IV atropine, epinephrine, calcium and midazolam. He was transferred to the ICU and had several additional cardiac arrests and was given Mg and NaCO3 and hemodialysis. His family agreed that further care was futile, comfort measures were instituted and he expired ~11 hrs post-ingestion. Autopsy Findings: Not performed. The death summary listed the cause of death as VF cardiac arrest from severe hypocalcemia, hypomagnesiumemia and metabolic acidosis due to intentional ingestion of hydrofluoric acid. Case 138. Acute cyanide ingestion: contributory. Scenario/Substances: 57-y/o male was brought to ED following ingestion of an unknown substance in an apparent suicide attempt. The patient had greeted EMS at his home and was walking at the scene, but lost consciousness during transport. A suicide note was found at the scene. Past Medical History: Cerebral aneurysms s/p surgical clipping, severe migraine headaches, opioid dependence, ethanol abuse, s/p orchiectomy from testicular gang-related trauma. Social history: worked as a goldsmith. Physical Exam: Unresponsive, diaphoretic male. BP 141/87, HR 80. Pupils midrange and reactive. Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. 1144 A. C. Bronstein et al. Laboratory Data: ABG-pH 7.58/PCO2 14/O2 99; anion gap 31, lactate 16 mmol/L; acetaminophen, salicylate and ethanol not detected; UDS: positive for amphetamines, opiates, benzodiazepines and THC. CxR: reported as negative. Clinical Course: No response observed after naloxone. Intubation performed for airway protection, head CT negative. Further history from family indicated that the patient had sent an email indicating he planned to commit suicide using cyanide salts which he had access to as a goldsmith. The patient had an unexplained anion gap metabolic academia with serum lactate 16 mmol/L. Blood for measurement of serum cyanide was drawn and hydroxocobalamin 5 g IV was administered. The metabolic acidemia improved and the patient started to become more arousable, requiring a propofol infusion for sedation. Repeat ABG-pH 7.39/PCO2 35/PO2 209; repeat lactate 3 mmol/L. Upon transfer to the ICU he was noted to be “beefy red” with “raspberry colored urine”. He had transient elevated bilirubin, AST and ALT following hydroxocobalamin. On Day 2 the patient suffered a myocardial infarction followed by a cerebrovascular accident on Day 3. He was also treated for ethanol and opioid withdrawal with benzodiazepines and opioids. He was successfully extubated on Day 7. He has right sided flaccid paralysis and was transferred to a neurological unit. The patient did not pass swallowing tests and was given tube feedings but expired on Day 20 from an aspiration pneumonia. Autopsy Findings: Cause of death: Aspiration pneumonia, CVA and cyanide poisoning. Pre-hydroxocobalamin whole blood cyanide concentration: 4.7 mcg/mL. Manner of death: suicide. Case 153. Acute hydrofluoric acid ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 2-y/o male ingested an unknown amount of rust remover and possibly another cleaner at the babysitters. The babysitter called the father who came and picked up the child an hour later when he found the child in obvious distress. The child was crying, had vomited, and quickly became unresponsive. EMS was called and found the child in arrest. There were no obvious burns apparent in the child’s mouth. He was noted to be in and out of v-fib and asystole, was intubated, defibrillated, received multiple doses of epinephrine, atropine, sodium bicarbonate, and was transported to the ED. The police alleged that the babysitter’s home was a meth lab. Physical Exam: Apeneic, pulseless, abdomen distended, head/neck, pharynx clear, unresponsive, no motor responses, reflexes absent, no signs of trama, no rash, pupils fixed and dilated, cyanosis noted around nail beds and eyes. Laboratory Data: Initial, Ca 8.2, pH 6.1, phosphorus 9.5 Na 125 Cl BUN 13 K 5.9 HCO3 29 Cr 0.61 Clinical Course: In the ED CPR was continued and the patient received multiple boluses of calcium carbonate and additional sodium bicarbonate. He received insulin for hyperkalemia and glucose for hypoglycemia. External cardiac pacing was attempted without capture or perfusion. CPR was discontinued after 2 hrs. Autopsy Findings: Cause of death was the toxic effecs of hydrofluoric acid ingestion and secondary hemorrhagic gastritis. Toxicology findings postmortem included methamphetamine blood 0.01 mg/L, methamphetamine hair 1174 pg/mg. Case 173. Acute mineral oil ingestion, ingestion with aspiration: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 2-y/o girl y ingested baby oil while exploring her environment. Her mother estimated the dose at 5–10 mL. She immediately started coughing and choking. Child’s home nurse spoke with her physician. After 2 hr the nurse called EMS. The child was transported to the ED on oxygen; she continued to have respiratory distress en route. Past Medical History: Trisomy 21 (Down’s Syndrome), pulmonary hypertension, reactive airway disease, congenital heart disease, and severe dysphagia/swallowing disorder. Because of this last problem, she’d been fed by a gastrotomy tube and kept NPO for most of her life. She’d had prior admissions for respiratory distress, including 2 episodes of aspiration pneumonia after having gotten into food or drink. At home she had a constant attendant nurse, and lived on 2 L oxygen by nasal cannula. Physical Exam: In the ED: HR 172, BP 113/59, RR 54, afebrile, O2 sat 72% on 2 L O2, in severe respiratory distress with wheezing, coughing, and use of accessory muscles of respiration. Laboratory Data: Initial radiograph showed bilateral diffuse infiltrates, worse on the left side. Initial serum pH 7.46, pCO2 38, pO2 45, anion gap 12. Clinical Course: On arrival at the ED, she was placed on a 100% non-rebreather mask, and given a series of albuterol aerosols. She had no improvement in respiratory status, so was endotracheally intubated and placed on a ventilator with 100% oxygen. Respiratory failure progressed, and on Day 1 x-ray findings and respiratory function, and she was switched to an oscilatory ventilator. Anemia was treated with packed RBCs. A cardiac arrest was treated successfully with CPR via APLS, after which she was enrolled in a prospective 3 day trial of hypothermia for cardiac arrest. She was randomized to the hypothermia arm. After rewarming on Day 3, her pulmonary status remained dismal. She remained ventilator dependant, developed abdominal compartment syndrome Day 44, and died on Day 45.

Day 2 HCO3 13, AST 1551, ALT 1469, Alk phos 165; PT 41, INR 3.9, WBC 16.4, Hgb 11, platelets 236. ECG irregular rhythm with HR 71, QRS 182, QTc 535 with left bundle branch block, no acute ST elevations or depressions. Clinical Course: The patient had several subsequent asystolic arrests requiring resuscitation. She was given one 50 mL vial of 25% sodium thiosulfate over 2 min and sodium nitrate (300 mg over 10 min). There was no improvement in neurologic status; T increased to 40.6°C with consolidation noted on chest x-ray. She underwent brain activity testing later in the day and expired ~36 hrs after presentation. Autopsy Findings: Moderate to severe atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and evidence of bronchopneumonia and necrotizing bronchitis/bronchiolitis with focal sloughing of the respiratory epithelium and acute and chronic inflammation. Necrotizing inflammation present within the submucosa and mucosa of the trachea. Brain revealed eosinophilic degeneration of the neurons consistent with hypoxic damage. Cause of death: complications of thermal inhalational injuries from products of combustion with a significant contributing factor being ischemic heart disease. Toxicological analysis of premortem blood obtained at the time of admission did not detect ethanol. Case 228. Acute methane inhalation/nasal: probably responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 62-y/o male was working with others in a manhole, changing a valve, when his co-workers heard a pop and gas started to come out of the line. The patient, who was closest to the gas leak, collapsed immediately. EMS administered 3 doses of epinephrine and 2 doses of atropine. Physical Exam: Unresponsive, pulseless male patient arrived in ED with CPR in progress. No external signs of trauma; skin: normal color, no unusual odors detected; abdomen: soft; extremities: no edema or cyanosis. Laboratory Data: Glu 65; cardiac monitor: asystole. In the field: EMS reported fire department environmental oxygen Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. 1146 A. C. Bronstein et al. levels were measured low at 10% and the methane level was 89%. Carbon monoxide was not detected. Clinical Course: CPR/ACLS continued; the patient briefly had fine VF and was defibrillated twice. Subsequently he had short episodes of a detectable pulse but relapsed into a pulseless state. Transcutaneous cardiac pacing was attempted unsuccessfully. Resuscitation efforts were terminated after ~1 hr. Autopsy Findings: Rib fractures consistent with CPR were evident; no discoloration of organs or tissues was noted. Cause of death: secondary to complications from exposure to a noxious gas, presumably methane. Subsequent investigation of the worksite indicated rising levels of inflammable gases although the test could not distinguish between methane and propane. No methane or ethanol was detected in postmortem aortic and femoral blood samples, respectively. Case 252. Thallium ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 39 yo male software engineer drove himself to the ED, and stated that he thought someone was poisoning him. He reported acute onset abdominal pain 1–2 hr after eating lunch of homemade rice and green beans. He reported nausea without vomiting, dull abdominal pain progressing in intensity, and non-bloody diarrhea. His wife ingested the same food, reported diarrhea but no pain. She reported that their child was recently hospitalized with a similar illness. Past Medical History: His past medical history was unremarkable. Social history obtained 4 days after admission revealed that the husband and wife had filed for divorce in the previous year and the court date was the day of ED admission. His wife was a chemist and he suspected that she might be poisoning him. Physical Exam: In the ED, the readings were HR 63, BP 137/89, RR 20. Physical exam was unremarkable including his abdominal exam. Laboratory Data: Normal CBC, electrolytes, and liver functions. Abdominal ultrasound and CT of the abdomen and pelvis were unremarkable. Clinical Course: Later on the day of admission, he began complaining of hyposthesias (pins and needles) and bilateral parasthesias of his hands, and then a day later developed painful paresthesias of his feet. These parasthesias progressed during the hospital stay as did his abdominal pain. Eventually the paresthesias became so severe that he could not move his legs. He reported an episode of paresthesias a year earlier and that this episode had started 2 days before admission. Guillain Barre Syndrome was suspected and he received IV immunoglobulin with no relief of symptomatology. He developed fluctuating levels of alertness and on Day 8 day he was found actively seizing, required large doses of anti-convulsive medication, became ventilator dependent, and was transferred to the ICU. On Day 10, a 24 hr urine for heavy metal screen was reported negative for lead, mercury. On Day 12 a 24 hr urine for thallium level was reported as 800 mcg/L on a 4300 mL urine volume. On Day 12, he developed hypotension, received pressor support, multiple dose activated charcoal every 4 hrs, 2 g Prussian Blue, and high flux hemodialysis. Medicinal grade Prussian Blue was unavailable, so the patient received technical grade reagent. Despite aggressive therapy he developed 2 episodes of PEA and could not be resuscitated from the second, and died on Day 12. Autopsy Findings: Embargoed by prosecutor’s office. Case 262. Acute fluorinated hydrocarbon inhalation: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 22-y/o female presented to the ED with cardiac arrest after reportedly huffing a cleaning product that contained difluoroethane. She was endotracheally intubated by EMS prior to arrival. Past Medical History: Methamphetamine use. Physical Exam: Patient was comatose. She was successfully resusciated (atropine, IVFs and CPR) with initial BP 130/100, HR 152, RR 20 (ventilated). O2 sat 90% on 100% FiO2. Clinical Course: Patient was resuscitated with return of spontaneous circulation and was sedated and ventilated. Head CT showed a diffuse intracerebral bleed with subsequent edema. CxR suggested aspiration. The initial use of epineprhine was withheld due to concern about potential hydrocarbon-induced myocardial sensitization. She was taken to the operating room to evacuate the clot, but suffered a cardiac arrest and was instead returned to the ICU. She was cardioverted for VF and started on vasopressors for hypotension but died from a cardiac arrest within 24 hr of admission. Autopsy Findings: Bilateral pleural effusions. Blood and bile positive for 1,1 diflouroethane. Case 267. Acute fluorinated hydrocarbon inhalation: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 25-y/o male was found apenic by his roommate (last seen 4 hrs earlier). The roommate called 911 and began CPR. EMS found the patient cold, cyanotic, and in asystole. They continued CPR, intubated him, and gave glucose, atropine, naloxone and epinephrine. A container of computer dusting solution containing difluoroethane was found near the patient. Past Medical History: No known medical problems or regular medications. Physical Exam: In the ED he was unresponsive, in asystole, T 34.3°C, pupils fixed and dilated. Laboratory Data: Glu 183, bedside ultrasound showed no cardiac activity. Clinical Course: ACLS CPR was continued and he was given IV saline and bicarbonate without response and he was pronounced dead. Autopsy Findings: Gross and microscopic examinations were unremarkable. The heart was 310 gm and showed no abnormalities of the coronary or great vessels, no focal wall or valvular defects, and no focal areas of discoloration, softening or scarring. Difluoroethane concentrations: iliac blood 1.64 mg/L, urine 3.54 mg/L, vitreous humor 0.97 mg/L. The cause of death was determined to be difluoroethane intoxication.

AAPCC 2011 Annual Report of the NPDS Case 281. Acute lamp oil ingestion and aspiration: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 22 m/o female ingested and aspirated tiki torch fuel, a hydrocarbon, and began to cough. She was transported to the local ED. Physical Exam: Coughing toddler in significant respiratory distress; hypotensive, with frothy, bloody secretions. Laboratory Data: ABG-pH ‘acidotic, not recordable’ pCO2 248/pO2 33, K 8, Glu 700, lactate 12. CxR: R lung “white out”. Clinical Course: The patient was suctioned and returned bloody and frothy secretions prior to being intubated, ventilated and transferred to a tertiary care facility able to provide a higher level of care. Upon arrival, she experienced a cardiac arrest from which she could not be resuscitated. The patient expired within 1 hr after ingestion. Autopsy Findings: Cause of death; chemical pneumonitis due to hydrocarbon toxicity. Lungs: microscopic exam revealed extensive alveolar wall damage, neutrophilic and eosinophilic infiltrate, acute hemorrhage and extensive edema fluid; Heart: microscopic exam revealed a focal area of lymphocytic infiltrate with myocyte necrosis with a few histocytes and eosinophils. Focal myocarditis was determined although thought not be associated with hydrocarbon ingestion per the ME report. The myocarditis was focal and determined as most likely not contributing to cause of death. Antemortem blood specimen did not detect solvents or volatiles. Case 283. Acute cyclopeptide mushrooms ingestion: probably responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 70-y/o female with an extensive medical history presented to the ED with nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea ~10 hr after a meal she made with small brown mushrooms that were picked from her brother’s back yard. Past Medical History: Colon perforation with partial bowel resection, anemia, systemic lupus erythematosis, emphysema, osteoporosis, cerebrovascular accident, acute myocardial infarction, hypothyroidism, gastroesophageal bleeding, pneumonia. Physical Exam: Awake and cooperative, and at her baseline speech and mentation, BP 138/80, HR 82, T 36.6°C, RR 15, O2 Sat 95%, no jaundice or liver tenderness. Laboratory Data: AST 108, ALT 69, INR 1.04, lipase 30. Na 134 Cl 107 BUN 24 K 4.1 HCO3 20 Cr 0.84 Glu 108 Clinical Course: The patient was started on IV normal saline, ondansetron to control nausea and vomiting, and oral activated charcoal. Cyclopeptide mushroom poisoning was suspected and serial liver function tests were performed. The mushroom was not positively identified but a mycologist who looked at a digital photograph of leftover mushroom segments opined it was consistent with galerina spp. She received further doses of activated charcoal, and was started on IV N-acetylcysteine and cimetidine. Day 2 AST 810, ALT 577, INR 1.91. Her clinical status abruptly Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 1147 deteriorated, with hypoglycemia and metabolic acidosis, and she was intubated. She developed a fever of 39.1°C. She also developed acute renal failure, and hypotension requiring norepinephrine. Her urine and blood cultures were positive for E. coli. The investigational drug silibinin was obtained and started IV on Day 2. However, she did not improve, and Day 3 readings were AST 1297, ALT 1365, INR 6.58, lactate 6.7 mmol/L. Based on the prognosis, the family opted for institution of comfort measures and she expired shortly thereafter. Autopsy Findings: No autopsy was done. The coroner reviewed the case and determined that the cause of death was acute hepatic failure due to Amanita mushroom poisoning (although Galerina spp. seems more likely). Case 295. Acute malathion ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 57-y/o female was seen by her family ingesting 50% malathion liquid in a suicide attempt. The family called EMS. The patient had progressive neurologic decline en route to the hospital, she vomited and then became unresponsive on arrival to the hospital with possible seizure activity. She was given 2 mg of atropine by EMS. The bottle of malathion brought to the hospital was empty and was found to contain 50% malathion (unknown quantity ingested). Past Medical History: Previous suicide attempts, ethanol abuse. Physical Exam: HR 135, BP 123/60, RR 16 and labored. Skin warm and diaphoretic, Thick oral secretions, pupils 5 mm and not reactive, scattered rhonchi, bowel sounds increased. She was unresponsive, GCS 3, normal muscle tone, no seizure activity. Laboratory Data: Calcium, 8.4, magnesium 1.8 Na 134 Cl 109 BUN 2 K 3.7 HCO3 17 Cr 0.6 Glu 197 phosphorus 1.6, lactate 6.8 mmol/L, AST 21, ALT 11, PT 13.1, PTT 26.6, acetaminophen 7 ug/ml, salicylate not detected. On Day 2 RBC acetylcholinesterase 8.6 U/gHb pseudocholinesterase not detectable. Clinical Course: On her arrive at the ED she was intubated and decontaminated and given pradlidoxime IV. She was started on midazolam and fentanyl for sedation. She was kept on midazolam 10 mg/hr for seizure prophylaxis with continuous EEG monitoring. No seizure activity was noted, and on Day 2 she was weaned from midazolam. She was treated with pralidoxime at 500 mg/hr for 48 hrs followed by 250 mg/hr thereafter. Urine output was 12 L on Day 1, 7 L on Day 2, replaced with normal saline. Her hypotension required norepinephrine on Day 1 vasopressin, phenylephrine and later dopamine on Day 2. Based on the prognosis, the family opted for institution of comfort measures and she expired on Day 3. Autopsy Findings: Not performed. Case 304. Acute ibogaine ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: 25-y/o ingested 2 gm of ibogaine he purchased through the internet for treatment of opiate 1148 A. C. Bronstein et al. Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. dependence. The patient was suffereing from cardiac arrest when EMS arrived. According to the patient’s AICD, the cardiac arrest was Vtach/Vfib. Past Medical History: heroin abuse, SVT, AICD-pacemaker Physical Exam: BP 113/111, HR 120, RR 12, pupils dilated, bowel sounds present, skin warm and dry, comatose, deep tendon reflexes intact without hyperreflexia. Laboratory Data: Ca 10.7, phos 9.3, Mg 2.4, lactate 18.

Clinical Course: Patient was resuscitated and started on norepinephrine, phenylephrine, bicarbonate, and amiodarone. He remained hyperthermic and hypotensive despite multiple vasopressors. His lactic acidosis initially improved, but he developed hypotension, acidosis, and multisystem organ failure on Day 2. His anion gap increased to 20 with an ABG pH 7.2, ALT 491, AST 1099. The patient’s EF was 10% on echo. Intralipid and balloon pump were discussed but the patient had no signs of brain activity, comfort measures were instituted and he expired on Day 2. Autopsy Findings: Ibogaine in the heart blood 2.2 mcg/ml, iliac blood 1.8 mcg/ml, vitreous 0.98 mcg/ml, and liver 4.2 mcg/g. Along with the patient’s pre-existing heart condition, ibogaine was determined to be the cause of death. Samples of the capsules were obtained and tested via GC MS – only ibogaine was found. The 3 capsules tested had significantly different amounts of ibogaine in them so it is difficult to know how much was actually ingested. Case 305. Acute aconite, ethanol ingestion, dermal: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 28-y/o male contacted EMS to report trouble breathing. EMS found him vomiting, agitated and complaining of chest pain, and feeling as if limbs were paralyzed. He indicated that he ingested a poisonous plant by pointing at the label from a recently purchased nursery plant that read: Aconitum, Blue Lagoon, Monkshood. During transport, he developed VT then VF. Past Medical History: Social history: patient’s father committed suicide a few months prior to this event. Physical Exam: Tachycardia with shallow respirations. Clinical Course: Unresponsive male in ED with VF during transport to the ED. He was intubated and defibrillated into sinus rhythm briefly before developing torsade de pointes from which he could not be resuscitated. He expired in the ED. Autopsy Findings: Severe pulmonary congestion, normal heart examination. The deceased was in possession of Monkshood and Delphinium plants and had knowledge of the poisonous nature of the plants from the sales persons at 2 local nurseries and recent internet searches found on his personal computer. At the scene, personal and financial papers were prominently displayed including an internetpurchased will. The manner of death was suicide. Case 308. Acute methadone ingestion: undoubtedly responsible Scenario/Substances: A 2-y/o girl drank juice then complained that her tongue “felt weird”. She then took a nap and was found cold, limp and barely breathing. It was later discovered the juice had been mixed with methadone. Physical Exam: Unresponsive, bradycardic, hypotensive 2-y/o female with cold extremities. Clinical Course: No response was noted to naloxone administration. Patient was intubated and placed on a naloxone infusion. Urine toxicology was not tested for methadone.

In the pediatric ICU, urine also positive for methadone. Day 2 CT scan of head showed cerebral edema with herniation. Naloxone was discontinued after 48 hrs. Serum samples were sent out for quantification of methadone. The patient was declared brain dead on the Day 6 and expired on Day 7. Autopsy Findings: Premortem blood methadone concentrations: 219 ng/mL at 24 hrs, and 178 ng/ at 48 hrs. CNS: cerebral edema with severe diastatic separation of cranial sutures; acute hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy, secondary subarachnoid hemorrhage of right occipital and bilateral temporal lobes. Secondary autolysis of brain parenchyma. Lungs, spleen, liver, adrenal glands, large vessels, and kidneys were procured for organ donation. Cardiovascular system: normal. Cause of death: Methadone intoxication. Manner of death: Could not be determined. Case 311. Acute methadone ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: 9-y/o boy had difficulty falling asleep and, because the family ran out of diphenhydramine, ingested his mother’s methadone (50 mg, liquid). Patient did not wake up for school at 5 hrs later. EMS found him suffering from cardiac arrest. Naloxone was administered with no response. CPR was initiated; the patient was intubated and transported to the ED. Past Medical History: Obesity. Physical Exam: Intubated male in full cardiac arrest. Laboratory Data: ABG-pH 6.97/pCO2 66/pO2 109/HCO3 14; UDS positive for methadone. Clinical Course: Additional naloxone was administered for a total of 4 doses with no response. Multiple doses of epinephrine were given with return of spontaneous circulation after 1 hr and the patient was admitted to the ICU where he remained comatose and exhibited post-anoxic myoclonus. Day 2 he developed diabetes insipidus. Brain perfusion studies were negative; thrombocytopenia occurred and the patient had bleeding from the nose and mouth. The urine toxicology remained positive for methadone for a total of 7 days. The patient was declared brain dead; comfort measures were instituted on Day 8, the patient expired on Day 10. Autopsy Findings: Liquification of the majority of the brain with small hemorrhagic infarctions in lungs; myocardium was normal with no infarction. Cause of death: Methadone Intoxication. Manner of death: “could not be determined”.

UDS: negative 2 and positive 1 for methadone; acetaminophen, salicylate and ethanol not detected. Clinical Course: Head CT showed diffuse cerebral and cerebellar edema with no acute hemorrhage or masses. He was maintained on a ventilator and was given metaraminol and epinephrine, later switched to dopamine and epinephrine for hemodynamic support. He was able to breath when ventilator support was temporarily decreased but showed no other positive neurological signs; pupils were fixed and dilated, no pain or gag reflexes were present. Day 2, comfort measures were instituted and the patient expired. Autopsy findings: Premortem lab results revealed methadone, 420 ng/mL; EDDP 483 ng/mL; escitalopram was not detected. The results were consistent with death secondary to methadone toxicity. The negative escitalopram level suggested that he was non-compliant with his antidepressant medication. Case 816. Acute acetaminophen ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 48-y/o female was transferred to a tertiary care hospital for consideration of liver transplantation after an acetaminophen overdose. Past Medical History: Depression, prior suicide attempt by acetaminophen overdose, cesarean section, ankle surgery. Physical Exam: Upon arrival to the tertiary care facility the readings were HR 139, BP 139/61, T 36.6°C, O2 sat 100% on 100% FiO2. She was minimally responsive to verbal stimuli. Liver edge was palpable approximately 2 cm below the right costal margin. Examination otherwise unremarkable.

On arrival at the tertiary care hospital, acetaminophen was 10 mg/L, ALT 8,000, AST 16,000, serum pH 7.24, ammonia 37 umol/L. Clinical Course: Prior to transfer to tertiary care, she had received oral n-acetylcysteine. On arrival at tertiary Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 1149 care center, she was switched over to IV n-acetylcysteine, 6.25 mg/kg/hr. Hemodiafiltration was performed. On that same day, she was given sedation and endotracheally intubated. She was given oxygen via the endotracheal tube and ventilator. On Day 2 she was more alert; n-acetylcysteine dosing was adjusted based on patient weight. On Day 3 AST 3800, ALT 3600, INR 3 platelets 37. FFP and antibiotics were given. The patient developed atrial fibrillation with a ventricular rate of 125 and stable BP 94/54. On Day 4, her readings were AST 600, ALT 2,000, INR 2.2 total bilirubin (total, 6.2; direct 3.7), N-acetylcysteine was continued. On Day 6, CNS depression increased, total bilirubin 7, AST 200; ALT 1200. N-acetylcysteine treatment was discontinued. Over the next 10 days, the patient’s clincal status fluctuated, her transaminases decreased and her bilirubin increased. She became hemodynamically unstable. Based on the prognosis, the family opted for institution of comfort measures and he expired on Day 18. Autopsy Findings: Coroner’s report identified immediate cause of death to be widespread hepatic necrosis as a consequence of acute intoxication by acetaminophen. Manner of death was suicide. Other significant conditions included renal tubular necrosis, ascites, bilateral pleural effusions, pulmonary edema, and cerebral edema. Case 1151. Acute buprenorphine and naloxone ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 13 month old male was found unresponsive in his crib after a suspected exposure to buprenorphine and naloxone sublingual film.

Physical Exam: He was apneic, pulseless, pupils were fixed and dilated, his jaw tightly clenched, and abdomen distended. His skin was cool, dry, and deeply cyanotic with moderate dependent lividity, lower extremity joints stiffness suggesting early rigor mortis. Clinical Course: The patient was given 3 mg epinephrine and 4 mg atropine IV prior to arrival without improvement. He was pronounced dead on arrival to the ED. Autopsy Findings: The patient’s heart had mild to moderate atherosclerosis with chronic inflammation, but was otherwise unremarkable. Urine methylenedioxypyrovalerone 400 ng/ml, mephedrone not detected. Serum venlafaxine 3105 ng/ml, desmethylvenlafaxine 1121 ng/ml, lithium 0.22 mEq/L, quetiapine 5264 mg/ml, tetrahydrocannabinol 2.2 ng/ml, carboxy-THC 17.9 ng/ml. No other substances were found. The cause of death was ruled MDPV intoxication with atherosclerotic disease. State police visited the store where he purchased the product and obtained a sample of the brand, which was analyzed and found to contain only MDPV. Case 1841. Acute methamphetamine injection and ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 38-y/o male was found by police in his parked car on a country road with his IV drug paraphernalia. Crystalline material found at the scene tested presumptive positive for methamphetamine. Initially he appeared high, was cooperative and answered questions appropriately, but 3 hr later, after booking, he developed muscle stiffness, diaphoresis, high HR and inablility to answer questions. He was transported to the ED by EMS ~2 hr later. Past Medical History: Illicit drug use including IV drug use. He was released on drug charges from jail 2 weeks prior. Physical Exam: In the ED he admitted to injecting drugs, was diaphoretic, had mydriasis, sinus tachycardia to 190, and BP 151/71 and initially was afebrile. He was treated with IV fluids and lorazepam. While in the ED, he became obtunded, had visual hallucinations, tachypnea (RR 30– 40), and hypotension (70/-). He was intubated, a central line was placed, and norepinephrine initially stabilized BP 100–110/-. His T climbed to T 39.6°C treated with a cooling blanket and IV midazolam, but only intermittent neuromuscular paralysis.

GC/MS analysis was positive for caffeine, but was negative for other drugs including benzodiazepines, cocaine, opiates, cannabinoids, carisoprodol, and oxycodone. Case 1845. Acute amphetamines (synthetic stimulant) exposure: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 39-y/o male was brought to the ED after being found outside partially clothed, combative and agitated after admitting to using “bath salts” (synthetic stimulant). Past Medical History: ethanol abuse, substance abuse, depression and chronic back pain. Physical Exam: Agitated, extremely combative, diaphoretic, BP 157/74, HR 103. Laboratory Data: Urine toxicology: positive for PCP and benzodiazepines. Clinical Course: Patient received diazepam and lorazepam, which briefly decreased his agitation which returned with “psychotic behavior, diaphoresis and ataxia. HR 116. He refused lorazepam IV and received lorazepam and promethazine orally instead. He also was given diphenhydramine by mistake instead of benzodiazepine. He was admitted to telemetry monitoring ~5 hrs after presentation to the ED. Shortly thereafter he became unresponsive, hyperthermic with HR 200, RR 20 and was transferred to the ICU where T 41.4°C, with jerking movements of the extremities; he was intubated and external cooling measures were started. VT developed and he received amiodarone and diltiazem. HR decreased to 58. At 12 hrs after ED admission he had cardiac arrest and expired. Autopsy Findings: Neuropathology was unremarkable; Lungs: parenchyma congested with red-purple exuding moderate amounts of bloody fluid; Liver: capsule was smooth, moderately congested parenchyma with no focal lesions. Postmortem toxicological analysis: methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MDPV) 1.0 mg/L in peripheral blood; mephedrone and phenycyclidine not detected; methcathinone not assayed. Cause of death: MDPV intoxication. The manner of death: accidental. Copyright © Informa Healthcare USA, Inc. 2012 1161 Case 1851. Acute amphetamine (synthetic stimulant), trimethoprim, and ethanol inhalation/nasal, parenteral: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 40-y/o male was found agitated, naked, and delusional and running around after using a “bath salts” (synthetic stimulant). He required 2 applications of an electroshock device to control before being brought to the hospital. Past Medical History: Bipolar disorder and drug abuse.

Clinical Course: Shortly after arrival in the ED, the patient was placed on a cardiac monitor and developed bradycardia and subsequent cardiac arrest. He received 2 doses of 1 mg epinephrine and 1 mg atropine, as well as 100 mg lidocaine, 2 mg of naloxone and 0.5 mg of flumazenil IV. After 30 min, he had return of spontaneous circulation; dopamine and phenylephrine infusions were started for hypotension. T (rectal) 40.8; GCS 3; his pupils were dilated. He was given IV fluids (7 L NS) and transferred to a tertiary care center. At the second HCF he remained hypotensive; norepinephrine was initiated, T 37.9°C, HR 114, RR 32 (ventilator rate set at 20), O2 sat was100%. He responded to painful stimuli; pupils were minimally reactive to light, gag reflex was present. Needle marks were noted on the patient’s arms and the patient was oozing from his IV sites. ECG: HR 53 with peaked T waves, QRS 158 and QTc 420. He was treated for hyperkalemia (K 8.0) with 1 g Ca gluconate, 10 U insulin, 50 g dextrose and 50 mEq sodium bicarbonate. He developed worsening metabolic acidosis and rhabdomyolysis with oliguria then anuria; antibiotics were initiated for a right upper lobe consolidation. Subsequently he developed DIC and melanotic stools. Phytonadione, and multiple blood products were given and he received hemodialysis. Head CT showed cerebral edema and anoxic injury; EEG: anoxic injury and ultimately the patient was declared brain dead. Comfort measures were initiated and he expired ~42 hrs after presentation. Autopsy Findings: Not performed. Antemortem blood from first HCF: MDPV 0.31 mg/L, other samples from the second 1162 A. C. Bronstein et al. Clinical Toxicology Downloaded from informahealthcare.com by OSF College of Nursing on 01/02/13 For personal use only. HCF: MDPV urine: 670 ng/mL; serum 82 ng/mL.

Cause of death: excited delirium secondary to MDPV ingestion. Case 1917. Acute methamphetamine and phencyclidine ingestion: undoubtedly responsible. Scenario/Substances: A 51-y/o male was arrested for drug possession. While in custody, he became agitated and belligerent. He also had an episode of bowel incontinence, during which he passed a 2-gram baggie of methamphetamine. EMS was called for transport to an ED. While in the ambulance bay at the hospital, the patient was undressing and speaking “gibberish” when he suddenly became unresponsive, pulseless, and was found to be in PEA arrest. Past Medical History: Chronic hepatitis C. Physical Exam: The patient was covered in feces, GCS 3, pupils 5 mm fixed and dilated, T 40.2°C (rectal). Laboratory Data: HCO3 20, anion gap of 19, lactate 13.1 mmol/L, AST 61, ALT 123, PT 15.7, INR 1.3. Initial ABG-pH 7.03/pCO2 63/pO2 333/HCO3 16.5/BE 14.4. Serum acetaminophen and salicylates were not detected. UDS positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine, cocaine and/or metabolites, and phencyclidine (all confirmed by GC-MS). Clinical Course: Intubation, CPR and epinephrine 1 mg IV 2 restored a HR 30–40 after about 5 min. He then had another episode of PEA arrest. After atropine 1 mg IV 3 and epinephrine 1 mg IV spontaneous circulation returned, although with persistent hypotension, for which he was started on dopamine and norepinephrine. He was admitted to the ICU, where he remained comatose without any pupillary, corneal, cough or gag reflex. A head CT showed significant diffuse cerebral edema with loss of gray-white junction and herniation into foramen magnum. No significant abnormalities were identified on abdominal/pelvic CT scan. On Day 2 he was determined to be brain dead, based on an apnea test, the brainstem reflex exam, and isoelectric EEG. BP could not be maintained despite maximum pressor doses, he expired. Autopsy Findings: 1) Marked cerebral edema with uncal herniation; 2) marked pulmonary edema; 3) evidence of systemic hypertension: mild cardiomegaly, concentric left ventricular hypertrophy, slight arterionephrosclerosis; 4) chronic viral hepatitis (anamnestic). Postmortem toxicology report from peripheral blood were positive for methamphetamine 21,000 ng/ml, amphetamine 700 ng/ml and phencyclidine 64 ng/ml. The cause of death was acute methamphetamine, amphetamine, and phencyclidine intoxication.
