Episode description
Author: John Winkler, M.D.
Educational Pearls:
- Designer, or “synthetic” drugs include bath salts, synthetic THC, and many others.
- Many of these drugs are originally manufactured in China and are shipped globally.
- Treatment usually involves airway control and sedation - ketamine may be useful.
- Traditional tox screens do not test for these drugs.
