In this episode, we break down the clinical patterns that define toxidromes- the clusters of signs and symptoms that point to poisoning or overdose. We explore the hallmark features of the most common toxidromes, highlight common pitfalls in recognition, and explain how early pattern recognition changes patient outcomes. But not all symptoms are what they seem. In this episode, we peel back the layers of toxidromes to show how overlapping signs can mislead even experienced providers. From pinpoint pupils to altered mental status, we examine which clues you can trust and which demand a deeper look.
