Sackler911 group:
A 19-year-old man is brought to the ED by EMS after he was found lying on the
floor at a dance club. EMS states that the patient seemed unconscious at the
dance club but as soon as they transferred him onto the gurney he became
combative. Upon arrival in the ED, his blood pressure is 120/65 mm Hg, heart
rate is 75 beats per minute, temperature is 98.9°F, respiratory rate is 12
breaths per minute, and oxygen saturation is 98% on room air. On physical exam,
his pupils are mid-sized, equal and reactive to light. His skin is warm and dry.
Lung, cardiac, and abdominal exam are unremarkable. As you walk away from the
bedside, you here the monitor alarm signaling zero respirations and the oxygen
saturation starts to drop. You perform a sternal rub and the patient sits up in
bed and starts yelling at you. As you leave him for the second time, you hear
the monitor alarm again signal zero respirations. You administer naloxone, but
there is no change in his condition. Which of the following is most likely the
substance ingested by this patient?
o ã-hydroxybutyrate (GHB)
o Diazepam
o Cocaine
o Phencyclidine (PCP)
o Heroin
