Cyanide intoxication is an extremely rare event. We report a case of a teenager presenting with unresponsiveness, hemodynamic instability, and profound anion gap metabolic acidosis secondary to elevated lactate levels. It was later confirmed that he was a victim of cyanide poisoning.Individual case report.Pediatric intensive care unit of a tertiary ...

Management of the acutely poisoned patient should start with decontamination of the skin and irrigation of the eyes, if necessary, and assessment of cardiorespiratory status, neurologic status, and pupils and eye movement. If a definable toxic syndrome is present, the specific "antidote" should be given.

We present a case of acute nutmeg poisoning in a 16-year-old youth who had ingested the substance for recreational purposes. He developed a number of neurological symptoms and signs along with non-specific electrocardiographic changes and anti-cholinergic-type symptoms. We describe the pharmacology of nutmeg and its constituents, discuss its metabolism,

Quetiapine (Seroquel) is a member of a new class of antipsychotic agents used in the treatment of schizophrenia. Its pharmacologic effect is primarily mediated via antagonistic binding to serotonergic (5HT2) and dopaminergic (D2) receptors. Presented is a case of acute quetiapine overdose in a patient with associated tachycardia, hypotension, prolonged
