This podcast from the International Emergency Medicine Education Project website details the toxidromes (characteristic symptom sets caused by toxin exposure). It covers five major toxidromes—cholinergic, anticholinergic, sympathomimetic, sedative-hypnotic, and opioid—explaining their pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management. The podcast emphasizes the importance of a thorough history, physical examination, and targeted diagnostic testing, including electrocardiograms and toxicology screens. Treatment strategies, risk stratification, and disposition recommendations are provided for each toxidrome. Finally, a case study illustrates the application of these principles.
