We are back with an entirely new batch of cases to test your knowledge and treatments. Selected actual case review presentations involving toxicological emergencies ( I can’t make this stuff up, I am not that creative and fact far outweighs fiction). Each participant will be given the patient’s presentation from the EMS perspective and then the case will be followed through the hospital course on to discharge. Participants will be given actual EKG tracings, scene photos, radiographic films, lab values, radio reports, and assessments to determine the case progression.
