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.

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:

[ABAT] board certification). 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.

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:

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

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.”

optional reporting categories such as prevention/safety/education (31,670), administrative (28,452) and caller referral
(57,812).
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.

order (quadratic) least squares regression of these data shows
a statistically significant departure from linearity (declining
rate of calls since mid-2007) for Human Exposure Calls.
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).

Fig. 1. Human Exposure Calls, Information Calls and Animal Exposure Calls by Day since 1 January 2000. 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.

than 6 years accounted for approximately half of all human
exposures (48.9%). 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. Most (72.7%) were unintentional exposures

and 20.9% were intentional exposures. 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%.
Unintentional exposures outnumbered intentional exposures in all age groups with the exception of ages 13–19

aNumber of exposures excludes UNKNOWN ages from the individual age categories, but includes them in the subtotals and overall total (see Table 3A).
bCensus estimates were available only for 85 y/o and older, so exposures for
80–89 and 90 were combined for these analyses.4
cAge-based census data were not available for include outside the US (OUS),
so US data were scaled up (˜1%) to AAPCC Total to include OUS service
areas.

years (Table 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.

Case Management Site
The majority of cases reported to PCs were managed in a
non–health care facility (69.9%), usually at the site of exposure, primarily the patient’s own residence (Table 10). 1.7%
of cases were referred to a health care facility but refused
referral. 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).

Top Substances in Human Exposures
Table 17A presents the most common 25 substance categories, listed by frequency of human exposure. 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.

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).

between substance categories involved in pediatric and adult
exposures.
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.

Plant Exposures
Table 20 provides the number of times the specific plant was
reported to NPDS (N 47,561). 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).
Deaths and Exposure-related Fatalities
A listing of cases (Table 21) and summary of cases (Tables
4, 5, 8, 9, and 22) are provided for fatal cases for which there
exists reasonable confidence that the death was a result of
that exposure (exposure-related fatalities). Tables 11, 12,
and 19A and B list all deaths, irrespective of the Relative
Contribution to Fatality (RCF). Beginning in 2010, cases with
outcome of Death, Indirect Report were not further reviewed
by the AAPCC fatality review team and the RCF was
determined by the individual poison center review team.

There were 1,262 death, indirect and 1,503 deaths. 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.
In Table 21, the Annual Report ID number [bracketed]
indicates that the abstract for that case is included in
Appendix C. The letters following the Annual Report ID
number indicate: i Death, Indirect report (occurred in
837, 42.0% of cases), p prehospital cardiac and/or respiratory arrest (occurred in 576 of 1,995, 28.9% of cases),

Age patients. Although children 5 years old were involved in
the majority of exposures, the 20 fatalities comprised just 1.7%
of the exposure-related fatalities. Most (72.3%) of the fatalities
occurred in 20-to 59-year-old individuals.
Table 21 lists each of the 1,995 human fatalities (including death, indirect report) along with all of the substances
involved. Please note: the substance listed in column 3 of
Table 21 (alternate name) was chosen to be the most specific generic name based upon the Micromedex Poisindex
product name and generic code selected for that substance.
Alternate names are maintained in the NPDS for each substance involved in a fatality. The cross-references at the end
of each major category section in Table 21 list all cases that
identify this substance as other than the primary substance.
This Alternate name may not agree with the AAPCC generic
categories used in the summary tables (including Table 22).

Pediatric fatalities – age 5 years
Although children younger than 6 years were involved in the
majority of exposures, they comprised 42 of 2,765 (1.5%) of
fatalities. These numbers are similar to those reported since
1985 (Table 19A, all RCFs and includes indirect deaths).
Table 8 (RCF 1,2,3, excludes indirect deaths) shows the
percentage fatalities in children 5 years related to total
pediatric exposures was 20/1,144,729 0.00367%. By
comparison, 1,073/766,914 0.14% of all adult, exposures
involved a fatality. Of these 20 pediatric fatalities, 17 (85.0%)
were reported as unintentional and 1 (5.0%) were coded as
resulting from malicious intent (Table 8).

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.

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.

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.

The American Association of Poison Control Centers
(AAPCC; http://www.aapcc.org) maintains the national
database of information logged by the country’s regional
Poison Centers (PCs) serving all 50 United States, Puerto
Rico and the District of Columbia. Case records in this
database are from self-reported calls: they reflect only
information provided when the public or healthcare
professionals report an actual or potential exposure to a
substance (e.g., an ingestion, inhalation, or topical exposure, etc.), or request information/educational materials.
Exposures do not necessarily represent a poisoning or
overdose. The AAPCC is not able to completely verify
the accuracy of every report made to member centers.
Additional exposures may go unreported to PCs and data
referenced from the AAPCC should not be construed to
represent the complete incidence of national exposures to
any substance(s).

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

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.

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,

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.
Clinical Course: At the initial ED, he had 1 generalized
seizure and was hypotensive. He was intubated and placed
upon on dopamine for hypotension. He was then transferred

to a tertiary care hospital where he was found to be unresponsive, pupils 2 mm and unreactive bilaterally, HR 130–140,
T 34.1°C. He was receiving dopamine, norepinephrine, and
sodium bicarbonate for hypotension. His urine fluoresced
under a black light indicating the presence of fluorescein
and he was started on fomepizole at 15 mg/kg IV. He also
received thiamine, pyridoxine, and folic acid. His laboratory
results were:

showed HCO3 14, anion gap 17; pH 7.15, BE -15. Methanol 620 mg/dL, ethylene glycol negative 2 hr later methanol
485 mg/dL. 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. Pupils miotic but reactive, Oral
mucosa dry. Neck: Supple, 1 cm laceration stapled the previous day, heart and lungs unremarkable, abdomen soft with
mild diffuse tenderness and no rebound, bowel sounds present, sleepy but oriented 3.

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.

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

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.
Laboratory Data: BUN 59, Cr 3.6, INR “normal”; Day 2
post envenomation: Cr 6.7, phos 6.08, lactate 4.0, ionized Ca
3.3, PT 14.4, INR 1.49, Mg 1.7.
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

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.

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.
Laboratory Data: At 40 min post-ingestion: Ca 9.3, Mg 2,
Cr 1.9; at 3 hrs post-ingestion: ABG-pH 7.06/pCO2 32.9/
pO2 465; At 4.5 hrs post-ingestion: ABG-pH 7.26/pCO2 35/
pO2 111; Ca 7.8, Cr 1.9; HCO3 16.3; At 6 hrs post-ingestion:
Ca 5.1, Cr 1.9, Mg 1.0; At 10 hrs post-ingestion: ABG-pH
7.6/pCO2 23.6/pO2 272; Ca 9.8, Mg 2.9.
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.

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

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.
Autopsy Findings: Based on an external examination, the
county coroner ruled cause of death was sepsis, due to aspiration pneumonia.

of hairspray in her bedroom.
Past Medical History: Home medications were omeprazole
and promethazine.
Autopsy Findings: Postmortem labs (blood): Negative
for ethanol, amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines,
cocaine metabolites, opiates, PCP, THC metabolite, methadone, and propoxyphene. Volatile organic compounds: 1,1difluoroethane 25 mcg/mL. Negative for other VOCs. Cause
of death was death due to huffing.
omeprazole, potassium, quetiapine, spironolactone, warfarin, zolpidem, venlafaxine, and home oxygen therapy.
Physical Exam: Unresponsive, intubated female; BP 80,
without spontaneous respirations. Atraumatic with fixed and
dilated pupils. A large amount of soot was on her face and
body. Skin: warm and dry, without burns or edema; Lungs:
clear to auscultation; Heart: irregular rhythm; Abdomen was
soft, nontender, and nondistended; GCS 3.
Laboratory Data: ABG-pH 7.29/pCO2 45/pO2 118; COHb
29%;
Case 185. Acute hydrogen sulfide inhalation: undoubtedly responsible.
Scenario/Substances: A 20 yo male stopped his car on the
interstate, called police, and reported that he had poisonous
chemicals in his car and intended to commit suicide. When
police arrived they found a note taped to the window stating
that the car contained hydrogen sulfide. The police secured
the scene and called hazmat. It took 2 hr for the team to
arrive. The patient was removed from the car and decontaminated on scene with soap and water. He was unresponsive,
tachypneic and tachycardic. He vomited X2 in the ambulance during transport to the ED. The chemicals found in the
vehicle were calcium polysulfide and hydrochloric acid, the
ingredients in an internet recipe for hydrogen sulfide.
Physical Exam: In the ED: HR 124, BP 125/63, RR 32, the
patient was thrashing around, but lacked purposeful movements. He was sedated, intubated, and ventilated; O2 sat
was 98% after intubation. He had burns on his feet and what
appeared to be corneal burns. There were abrasions on his
face around the left eye and chin, possibly incurred during
extraction from vehicle.
Laboratory Data: ABG-pH 7.1/pCO2 45/pO2 14/HCO3 14/
BE -15.5, Glu 328, K 2.8, UDS-negative. Serum acetaminophen, ethanol and salicylate not detected. CxR clear.
Clinical Course: The patient received 1 amp of bicarb and
IV fluids with 20 meq of K. He was given amyl nitrite 0.3
amp X 2, sodium nitrite 300 mg, and sodium thiosulfate 12.5
g. He was transported by air to a tertiary facility where he
was admitted to the burn unit. His acidemia worsened, he
arrested, and resuscitation was not successful.

Scenario/Substances: A 60-y/o female was found unresponsive, apneic, and pulseless in her home after a house
fire was extinguished. There had been intense thick black
smoke in the house. She was found in PEA and resuscitated
in the field.
Past Medical History: Hypertension, diabetes, COPD,
ischemic heart disease, anemia, cardiomyopathy, placement
of an internal cardiac defibrillator, mitral valve disease,
dyslipidemia, recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding, narcotic
and benzodiazepine abuse, and medical noncompliance.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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. The
patient was transferred to a tertiary care center where urine
toxicology was positive for methadone. The family repeatedly denied presence of any methadone in the household. 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”.

Case 324. Acute methadone ingestion: undoubtedly
responsible.
Scenario/Substances: A 17 year old male self-medicated
with his grandmother’s methadone for pain after playing in
a football game. He had started to slur his words, but drove
himself home. He was found the following morning after
last being seen at ~2AM; EMS found him unresponsive
and asystolic. CPR was performed and circulation restored.
Naloxone was given without response.

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.
Laboratory Data: Acetaminophen at the first hospital was
77 mg/L (time not known, this was 2 days before transfer to
tertiary care). 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

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.
Clinical Course: The evening before admission, the parents gave the child a bottle of buprenorphine and naloxone as a rattle. The parents later noticed that the bottle
was opened and the patient had several pill fragments
in his mouth and they removed them. Subsequently, the
patient was fed and laid to sleep. The following morning, the child was found unresponsive by the parents and
EMS was summoned. At the scene, the patient was
reported to be in cardiopulmonary arrest, resuscitation
was initiated and 0.8 mg of naloxone was administered
without any response. The patient was declared dead on
arrival to the ED. Child protective services and the ME
were notified.
Autopsy Findings: The cause of death was determined to be
acute buprenorphine intoxication. The patient’s blood levels
were buprenorphine 52 ng/ml, norbuprenorphine 23 ng/mL,
and naloxone 39 ng/mL. Gastric contents buprenorphine
was 7400 ng/mL, norbuprenorphine 84 ng/mL, and naloxone 970 ng/mL.
Case 1161. Acute bupivacaine injection: undoubtedly
responsible.
Scenario/Substances: 50-y/o. male was having knee
arthroscopy at a surgery center using a nerve block. Bupivicaine 0.5%, 30 ml was infiltrated. During administration the
patient had an asystolic cardiac arrest. Fentanyl and midazolam had been given prior to the bupivicaine. CPR was
immediately started.

3, atropine, dopamine, and 2 doses of 250 ml of intralipid.
The patient was transferred from the surgery center to the
ED. Right main stem intubation was corrected by ETT repositioning. Procainamide was given, followed by a third bolus
of intralipid (20% 1.5 ml/kg) then by constant IV infusion at
0.25 ml/kg. Multiple doses of sodium bicarbonate, CaCl2,
calcium gluconate, epinephrine, infusions of dopamine,
intralipid and a total of 9L of IV fluids. External pacing was
attempted multiple times without success. Resuscitation
efforts were terminated after 4 hrs with continued, refractory
asystole.
Autopsy Findings: Not available.
Case 1169. Chronic, thrombin inhibitor ingestion:
undoubtedly responsible.
Scenario/Substances: A 74-y/o female with an extensive
cardiac history, being treated with dabigatran for atrial
fibrillation, was referred by her PCP for anemia, acute renal
failure, and coagulopathy. On presentation, she reported 1
day of increasing weakness and tremor in addition to black
stools for the last 4 days.
Past Medical History: Ischemic cardiomyopathy with EF

Clinical Course: The patient received 1 L of crystalloid fluids gently and was transferred to the ICU. No blood products
were given initially. On Day 2, she was started on CVVHD
to facilitate dabigatran clearance. Shortly thereafter she
went into pulseless VT that decompensated into PEA arrest
with return of spontaneous circulation after CPR/ACLS.
Throughout her hospitalization the patient developed progressive, worsening abdominal pain, hematemesis, melena,
and infective colitis. She received vitamin K, desmopressin, and multiple units of packed RBC, FFP, platelets, and
PCC. She required multiple vasopressors to maintain her BP.
Despite these efforts, she died on Day 7.
Dabigatran Concentrations: Dabigatran from serial serum
samples obtained during CVVHD were: 500 ng/mL at 3
and 6 hr and 225 and 45 ng/mL (pre- and post-filter) at 23
hr. One dialysate sample was 800 ng/mL. Reported concentrations at steady state in patients taking a dose of 220 mg
daily ranged from 64 to 443 with a mean of 184 ng/mL.
Autopsy Findings: Not performed.
Case 1170. Acute clopidogrel, salicylate, dabigatran
ingestion: undoubtedly responsible.
Scenario/Substances: A 79-y/o male presented with
epistaxis and melena.
Past Medical History: Atrial fibrillation, CAD s/p CABG,
on aspirin 81 mg, Plavix, and dagibatran 150 mg bid

Clinical Course: The patient was intubated shortly after
arrival for airway protection, and nasal packing was
placed, but he continued to bleed around the packing. He
was given FFP, packed RBCs, platelets, cryoprecipitate,
and desmopressin. He was started on levophed and dopamine for hypotension. Over the course of Day 1, he had
ongoing bleeding, hypotension, and evidence of tissue
hypoperfusion. Lactate was 5.8, troponin was initially
2.85 and peaked at 13.
Hgb was 8.1 after multiple transfusions, platelets 141 after 4
units, AST 1000, ALT 611, INR 5.8 to 3 after vitamin K.
He received a total of 18 units FFP, 4 units platelets, 20 units
cryoprecipitate, 12 units RBCs, 2 doses of desmopressin,
and 3000 units of prothrombin complex concentrate. Early
in Day 2 he was noted to have copious bleeding form nose
and rectum. In the afternoon he became bradycardic to 40s,
CPR was initiated. Based on the prognosis the family opted
for institution of comfort measures and he expired early on
Day 3.

Case 1235. Unknown, ethanol, amitriptyline, cocaine,
gabapentin ingestion: undoubtedly responsible.
Scenario/Substances: A 40y/o, 65 kg male was found unresponsive in his home by his family. He was found next to
an empty bottle of amitriptyline 8 hrs after he was last seen
“normal” but drinking alcohol. The suspected ingestion was
up to 3 g of amitriptyline with unknown amounts of ethanol
throughout the night.
Past Medical History: Depression, ethanol, caffeine,
tobacco and recreational drug abuse. Routine medications
were unknown.

CT scan of the brain and chest x-ray reported as “negative”.
The QRS remained elevated (129, 130, 136, 140 and 122)
for 9, 15, 24, 38 and 40 hrs post admission. The QTc intervals varied from 472 to 596 (562 at 48 hrs post admission)
over the same time period.
Clinical Course: In the ED, the patient was given 3 doses of
sodium bicarbonate (50 mEq each) for a widened QRS with no
improvement then 100 mg of lidocaine IV and placed on a lidocaine infusion for ventricular tachycardia after 3 unsuccessful
attempts with cardioversion. At 4 hrs, when VT resolved, lidocaine was discontinued and he was transferred to a tertiary HCF.
There he was treated with thiamine, multivitamin, enoxaparin,
famotidine, as well as lorazepam prn for agitation and morphine
prn for pain. At 36 hrs post admission he demonstrated intermittent myoclonic jerking followed by a seizure after an EEG was
completed, which resolved spontaneously. 3 hrs later, a second
seizure occurred and he was treated with IV lorazepam 5 mg
just prior to a cardiopulmonary arrest from which he could not
be resuscitated. The patient expired ˜40 hrs after he arrived to
the initial HCF.
Autopsy Findings: Not performed. ME report listed the
cause of death as amitriptyline toxicity with cocaine contributing to patient’s death. Antemortem blood testing from the
initial HCF showed blood amitriptyline 2.1 mg/kg, nortriptyline was not detected benzoylecgonine 0.044 mg/L, gabapentin 15 mg/L and presence of benzodiazepines, midazolam
and lidocaine. Cocaethylene, cocaine, ethanol, opiates and
opioids were not detected. The concentrations of amitriptyline and benzoylecgonine were found in amounts consistent with those previously reported in fatal cases.
Case 1238. Acute-on-chronic, bupropion, and ethano
ingestion: undoubtedly responsible.

noted altered mental status, and she told the police officer
she had taken an overdose. An unidentified white powder
was found in her car.
Past Medical History: Medications included bupropion and
acamprosate.
Physical Exam: HR 110, BP 70/40. Pupils 4 mm and reactive. Oral mucosa dry with white chalky material around

Anion gap 19, lactate 8.1, CK 126, ammonia 82, acetaminophen and salicylate was not detected, ethanol 307 mg/dL,
UDS positive for amphetamines and benzodiazepines.
Clinical Course: In ED, her mental status continued to
deteriorate; she became unresponsive to painful stimuli, then
had 3 tonic-clonic seizures. BP 50/30. She was intubated and
sedated with propofol. Lorazepam and phenytoin were given
for seizure activity and norepinephrine was started. Lipid
emulsion given and sodium bicarbonate infusion was begun.
In ICU T 38.9°C, HR 120s, she received phenylephrine and
vasopressin in addition to norepinephrine to maintain BP
Midazolam was given for continued seizures, T increased
to 40 despite external cooling. Pacing was initiated and dopamine and epinephrine were added. She experienced PEA
and asystole, which failed to respond to ACLS resuscitation
and she died ˜14 hr after presentation to ED.
Autopsy Findings: Autopsy revealed fatty liver with severe
mixed micro- and macrovesicular steatosis (fatty change).
Despite postmortem bupropion levels lower than those
reported in bupropion fatalities, her very elevated hydroxybupropion and her clinical picture of coma, seizures, and
metabolic acidosis were judged consistent with bupropion
toxicity. Cause of death was bupropion toxicity, and manner
of death was accident.
Case 1276. Acute amitriptyline ingestion: undoubtedly
responsible.
Scenario/Substances: A 48 y/o woman, discharged from
prison earlier that day took an unknown number of amitriptyline pills while in the car with her husband. She
vomited with several undigested pills in the emesis,
became unresponsive, and her husband started CPR and
called EMS.
Past Medical History: Bipolar disorder, seizures, and
cerebral aneurysm. Medications included amitriptyline, sertraline, and oxcarbazepine.
Physical Exam: Unresponsive patient in cardiac arrest with
seizure activity.
Laboratory Data: Cardiac monitor: wide complex tachycardia similar to VT; toxicology screen detected THC, cocaine
and tricyclic antidepressants.
Clinical Course: The patient received multiple doses of
diazepam and was defibrillated without effect. Transfer to
another hospital by air occurred during which time 1 amp of
1152 A. C. Bronstein et al.
NaHCO3 was given. Four hours after arrival at the second
HCF, hypotension continued, the QRS was 276 and she was
defibrillated and given lidocaine, and 2 amps of NaHCO3,
which resulted in a QRS of 148. Bicarbonate and norepinephrine infusions were initiated. Lab data: pH 7.37,

Clinical Course: Several hours later he was more awake and
additional history was obtained that he ingested up to 400
pills of venlafaxine extended release. HR at this time was
103, QRS 103. Aggressive gut decontamination was instituted with activated charcoal 50 gm every 2 hr for 4 doses
and whole bowel irrigation. Later that day, his mental status
deteriorated and he had 3 seizures that lasted about 15 s
each, treated with lorazepam. He became hemodynamically
unstable with QRS 134, BP 80/50 treated with IV fluids,
sodium bicarbonate and norepinephrine. He was intubated
and started on a propofol drip, and admitted to the ICU.
He received multiple boluses of sodium bicarbonate for
widened QRS and norepinephrine for hypotension. Whole
bowel irrigation and charcoal had to be discontinued because
the patient developed an ileus. The patient was treated with
N-acetylcysteine for possible late acetaminophen presentation with transaminitis. Day 2 the QRS widened to 150,
despite bicarbonate boluses. His Na was 158, pH 7.5. He
was treated with 2 boluses of intralipid, lidocaine, electrical
pacing, and electrical cardioversion. He developed a terminal

and meclizine.
Physical Exam: On arrival, she was weak, dyspneic, diaphoretic, and tachycardic, critically ill appearing. O2 sat was 86%.
Laboratory Data: Cr 2.34, initial serum theophylline
83 mg/L, 10 hr 76 mg/L. ECG atrial fibrillation with rapid
ventricular response.
Clinical Course: On arrival, she received O2 and IV fluids.
Atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response persisted so
she was treated with multiple IV doses of metoprolol. Once
her HR was controlled, she appeared clinically improved,
with resolution of nausea and diaphoresis. 10 hr later, her
serum theophylline was 76 mg/L and hemodialysis was
started. Her clinical status declined markedly, and she was
intubated and oxygenated. Her cardiovascular status continued to decline, she suffered a cardiac arrest, resuscitation was
unsuccessful, and she expired within 24 hr of admission.
Autopsy Findings: Autopsy was not performed; the hospitalist judged the death was natural, and due to complications
of COPD.
Case 1386. Acute flecainide, paroxetine ingestion:
undoubtedly responsible.
Scenario/Substances: 29-y/o female ingested 30 tabs of
paroxetine and 60 tabs of flecainide in an apparent suicide
attempt ˜15 min prior to calling EMS. The patient was found
awake and alert with stable vital signs, given oral administered activated charcoal and transported to the ED.
Physical Exam: Alert, awake female, BP 116/78, HR 111
RR 16, O2 sat 98% on room air, fingerstick glucose 96.
Laboratory Data: Full metabolic panel unremarkable.
Clinical Course: Within 30 min of arrival in the ED, the
patient developed VT, was intubated during CPR/ACLS
and given sodium bicarbonate followed by intralipid
bolus and infusion. The patient developed asystole during intralipid administration and received epinephrine,
atropine, and sodium bicarbonate and was defibrillated.
BP returned but required multiple vasopressors. She was
then transferred to a tertiary care center for ICU treatment.
Multiple vasorpessors were needed to maintain MAP
30–40, hrs 60: ECG showed wide complex rhythm; the
patient was placed on ECMO and given a second bolus and
infusion of intralipids at ˜8 hrs after the initial intralipid
bolus. No improvement in hemodynamic status was noted.
A head CT demonstrated intracranial bleed. The patient
expired 29 hrs after initial presentation.
Autopsy Findings: Bilateral necrosis of the globus pallidus,
hemorrhagic cavity in left temporal lobe extending into the
occipital lobe; full body anasarca. Blood concentrations:
premortem, pre-intralipid serum flecainide 1.7 mcg/mL;
postmortem: flecainide 36 mg/L (peripheral blood), paroxetine 1.1 mg/L (heart blood). Cause of death: flecainide and
paroxetine intoxication. Manner of death: Suicide.

Clinical Course: Patient was intubated, received IV fluids
and benzodiazepines for possible seizure, D50W, sodium
bicarbonate, and glucagon 4 mg. Torsade de pointes was
treated with Mg (4 g IV) with resolution. Vasopressors were
given for hypotension and HCO3 for QRS of 284. Review of
prior hospitalization records showed previous suicide attempt
with flecainide. At ~1.5 hrs after ED admission, intralipid
bolus and 60-min infusion was given resulting in BP 116/60,
HR 120 with continued QRS prolongation. Patient was
transferred to the ICU where episodic VT occurred, treated
with cardioversion. Hypotension continued, treated with
pressors until the patient expired ~15 hrs. In the ICU, the
ECG remained unstable with varying rhythms including
short bursts of ventricular tachycardia and was cardioverted
successfully. Patient remained hypotensive and vasopressors
were switched. ~15 hrs after ED presentation, the patient
expired. Subsequently it was learned that the flecainide was
prescribed to the patient’s father.

and violent behavior 1 hrs after inhaling 2C-E (4-ethyl-2,
5-dimethoxyphenethylamine) at a party where he had also
been drinking ethanol. He subsequently collapsed and
became unresponsive. He was driven to the hospital by his
friends after they attempted CPR for ~30 min.
Physical Exam: Cyanotic male; Pulseless, T 40.4°C,
Laboratory Data: Na 150, HCO2 4, Cr 2.1, glu 282;
Ethanol: 0.06 mg/dL, lactate 32.6, troponin: 0.01, INR:
2.1; salicylates and acetaminophen: not detected. UDS: positive for ED administered medications, caffeine and cotinine.
Urine sample did not have a similar GC-MS ion scan as the
purchased stock standard of 2C-E.
Clinical Course: The patient received 1.6 mg naloxone,
4 mg atropine, 5 mg epinephrine, 3 g Ca, and 250 mEq
sodium bicarbonate. Intravenous fat emulsion by bolus of
90 mL of 20% solution was administered at 0.75 hrs after
ED arrival. Sustained return of spontaneous circulation
occurred during the infusion. He received an additional
150 mEq of sodium bicarbonate and infusions of dopamine
and norepinephrine. External cooling was initiated but he
developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and disseminated intravascular coagulation. He expired several hours
after arrival in the ED.
Autopsy Findings: Bilateral hemothoraces, pulmonary
edema with bronchopneumonia, cerebral swelling and subendocardial hemorrhage. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension
confirmed the substance as 2C-E. Cause of death: Resuscitated cardiac arrest following witnessed use of 2C-E.
Case 1740. THC homolog ingestion: probably
responsible.
Scenario/Substances: A 19-y/o male presented to the ED
with confusion, hallucinations, and muscle rigidity. Two containers of bath salts were found in the patient’s possesion.
Past Medical History: History of prior bath salt abuse.
Physical Exam: BP 105/27 HR102.
Laboratory Data: BUN 34, Cr 7.8.
Clinical Course: The patient was initialy treated with supportive measures for sympathomimetic toxicity and related
complications. Pulmonary embolism was treated with
norepinephrine infusion, vasopressin infusion, benzodiazepines, anticoagulation, and hemodialysis. The patient was
intubated, ABG-pH 7.4/pCO2 34/pO2 158, O2 sat 99% on
ventilator with 35% FiO2. HR was in the 60s, systolic BP
110, and the patient remained unresponsive on the ventilator.
On Day 2, the patient again received hemodialysis, Cr 2.4.
The patient developed rhabdomyolysis and a repeat brain CT
showed worsening cerebral edema. He was resuscitated from
the first cardiac arrest, but continued to be unresponsive with
fixed and dilated pupils, comfort measures were instituted
and he expired.

caloric tests were administered without positive results, EEG
showed no brain activity; the patient expired on Day 3.
Autopsy Findings: The brain was severely swollen and
softened; the cerebellar tonsils and medulla were necrotic;
microscopic examination of the heart showed focal hemorrhagic infarcts in the papillary muscles; there was bronchopneumonia in the lungs, the liver showed early centrilobular
necrosis. Antemortem blood concentrations showed cannabinoids, lorazepam and 5-methoxy-N, N—diisopropyltryptamine (quantified at 27 ng/mL). The cause of death was
attributed to severe hyponatremia, and acute and chronic
drug intoxication, including 5-methoxy-N,N-Diisopropyltryptamine. The manner of death was concluded to be the
accidental ingestion of illicit drugs.
Case 1756. Acute methamphetamine unknown: undoubtedly responsible.

confirmed by GC/MS
Clinical Course: In the ED, the patient was nasotrachealy
intubated and active cooling measures were begun with ice
packs. Hyperactivity and hyperthermia were treated with 2
mg lorazepam and 8 mg midazolam, and she was admitted to
the ICU. Head CT was unremarkable. She developed epistaxis
and oozing from all IV sites consistent with DIC, and she
received packed RBCs and FFP. On Day 2 she she was resuscitated from a PEA arrest, epistaxis and bleeding from her
IV sites continued, hypotension required 3 pressors multiple
blood products. Based on the prognosis the family opted for
institution of comfort measures and he expired on Day 3.
Autopsy Findings: A pill found in her clothing had a powder
mass was 619 mg of which 422 mg (68%) was methylone.
Butylone was present, but quantation lacked a reference standard. Methylone and ethylone were found in high concentrations in the patient’s urine. Autopsy revealed evidence of
coagulopathy, fatty liver and anoxic encephalopathy. Cause
of death was accidental, secondary to serotonin syndrome.

2 mg for agitation and tachycardia with minimal response.
He was then started on a fentanyl drip. ~2 hrs later he was
intubated. Post-intubation ABG-pH 7.32/pCO2 35/pO2 163.
“Posturing” was noted ~2 hrs later, the fentanyl drip was discontinued and the patient had a fatal asystole cardiac arrest.
Axillary temperature at time of death was 36.7°C.
Autopsy Findings: Cause of death: methamphetamine overdose. Postmortem serum methamphetamine 4.1 mg/L.
Case 1820. Acute amphetamines (synthetic stimulant)
exposure: undoubtedly responsible.
Scenario/Substances: A 34-y/o male was brought to the
ED by EMS for agitated delirium. No exposure history was
available, but the agitated delirium was suspected to be from
exposure to “bath salts” (synthetic stimulant), because the
presentation occurred during an epidemic of exposures with
similar presentations.
Laboratory Data: PT 120, INR 10, AST 525, ALT 180,
CK 16,408, Hgb 14.2, platelets 58, EtOH 24 mg/dL, UDS

In the critical care unit, the patient had disseminated intravascular coagulation with oozing from all puncture sites.
He received transfusions of blood and plasma. Six hr after
admission his T was down to 39.2°C; HR 123, BP 63/25. IV
fluid resuscitation was continued but the patient expired in
hour 17.
Autopsy Findings: Autopsy: hypertensive cardiovascular
disease with cardiomegaly, left ventricular hypertrophy,
and nephrosclerosis, pulmonary edema, fatty liver, cerebral
edema, and an incidental thyroid nodule. Cause of death
was acute intoxication by methylenedioxypyrovalerone
(synthetic stimulant. Autopsy also confirmed the presence of
lorazepam, morphine and oxycodone.
Case 1831. Acute-on-chronic, amphetamines (synthetic
stimulant) exposure: undoubtedly responsible.

History was provided by his girlfriend.
Past Medical History: Tourettes, bipolar disease, migraine
headaches, and substance abuse. Routine medications
included: lithium, venlafaxine, and quetiapine.
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

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,

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.
Medications reported as quetiapine, methadone, temazepam
and 10/650 mg hydrocodone/acetaminophen.
Physical Exam: Agitated, yelling incomprehensibly, male
patient; BP 131/72, HR 164, RR 24, T (oral) 36.7°C, O2 sat
100% on a non-rebreather; Pupils dilated.
Laboratory Data:
Na 142
Cl 101
K 3.0
HCO3 20
BUN 16
UDS: positive for opiate, negative for cocaine, phencyclidine,
amphetamine, tetrahydrocannabinol, benzodiazepines and barbiturates; salicylates 4.1 mg/dL, acetaminophen and ethanol
not detected; INR 1.0, CK 234, AST 19, ALT 36. 5 hrs later:
Venous blood gas; pH 7.2/pCO2 39/pO2 35; HCO3 16.2, AST
869, ALT 738, PT 47.2, INR 4.2, CK 14,839, Hgb 11.5, platelets 56, troponin I 5.22, lactate25.5. 10 hrs after presentation:
ABG-pH 7.14/pCO2 30/pO2 119; HCO3 10; LDH 11,108,
TSH 2.21 mIU/L with a free thyroxin of 1.10 ng/dL, factor
VIII assay 31%, ammonia 150 umol/L. At 24–28 hrs: Hgb 7.1,
platelets 11, AST 10873, ALT 6629, CK 75,952, INR 9.3.
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

For personal use only.
HCF: MDPV urine: 670 ng/mL; serum 82 ng/mL. Trimethoprim: urine 12 mcg/mL; serum 2.2 mcg/mL. Clonazepam
0.006 mg/L,7-aminoclonazepam not detected; methadone,
hydrocodone, cocaine, ethanol, and gabapentin not detected.
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.
