Approach to a Patient with an Unknown Overdose

In this educational session presented by MENATOX (Middle East and North Africa Toxicology Association), Dr. Zad Kazi and Dr. Muhammad Al Maliki provide a structured, case-based discussion on the evaluation and management of patients presenting with undifferentiated overdose. Using a real clinical scenario of an 18-year-old patient with agitation and unclear ingestion history, the discussion highlights: 👉 The importance of early stabilization using the ABC approach 👉 Recognition of toxidromes through focused history and examination 👉 Strategic laboratory evaluation in unknown overdose 👉 Anticholinergic toxicity recognition 👉 Lithium toxicity assessment and indications for hemodialysis 👉 Gastrointestinal decontamination strategies, including activated charcoal and whole bowel irrigation 👉 Enhanced elimination techniques and criteria for dialysis 👉 Disposition decisions and psychiatric considerations in intentional overdose This lecture emphasizes a systematic toxicology framework applicable to emergency medicine, internal medicine, and critical care practice.
