ABSTRACT

Las intoxicaciones en Chile siguen siendo un motivo importante de consulta en el servicio de urgencia (SU). Tanto intoxicaciones accidentales como intencionales constituyen una fuente de morbimortalidad y gasto de recursos monetarios no solo en Chile, si no que en todo el mundo. Debido a los múltiples compuestos que pueden producir una intoxicación grave, sigue siendo un desafío para el equipo de salud su enfrentamiento y manejo oportuno. Los médicos que tratan a estos pacientes deben ser sistemáticos y ordenados en su enfrentamiento, ya que la presentación clínica es variada y depende del agente ingerido, co-ingestas, si es aguda o crónica o concomitante con otras patologías (trauma, infecciones, etc.). El manejo está dirigido a las maniobras básicas de reanimación y soporte vital, prevención de absorción del tóxico y cuando corresponda, la administración del antídoto. La evaluación y tratamiento inicial serán abordados en esta revisión, temas específicos para diferentes drogas serán discutidos de forma separada. Objetivo: entregar las nociones básicas del enfrentamiento y manejo terapéutico inicial de un paciente intoxicado desde la perspectiva de la medicina de urgencias. Método: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura científica, presentándose la evidencia actual del manejo e intervenciones terapéuticas utilizadas actualmente de un paciente intoxicado.


In Chile, poisonings are a frequent reason for emergency department visits. Accidental and intentional poisonings constitute an important source of worldwide morbidity, mortality and health care costs. Because of the heterogeneous presentations of poisonings, and the unknown exposure, it is always challenging for healthcare providers. Doctors who treat these patients must remember to be systematic and structured in their evaluation since the clinical presentation is not only determined by the exposure itself but also by co-ingestions, the time of presentation, whether the exposure is acute or chronic, and other concomitant health issues (trauma, hypothermia, comorbidities). The management focuses on basic resuscitation and life support, prevention of absorption of the toxin, and when appropriate, administering an antidote. Initial evaluation and treatment will be addressed in this review, and specific issues for different drugs will be discussed elsewhere. Objective: to describe the basic concepts to assess and manage the initial encounter of a poisoned patient from the perspective of emergency medicine. Methods: a bibliographic review of the scientific literature was carried out, presenting the current evidence of the management and therapeutic interventions currently used in an intoxicated patient.

ABSTRACT

El carfentanilo es un opioide sintético con una potencia 10.000 veces superior a la de la morfina. Esta y otras características posicionan al carfentanilo como una sustancia de interés dual, pues ha sido empleada como agente incapacitante y como droga de abuso. Entre las características toxicocinéticas del carfentanilo destacan su elevada liposolubilidad y la posibilidad de que siga una cinética de eliminación no lineal. En 2002 este compuesto fue empleado por las Fuerzas de Seguridad Rusas para intentar resolver la crisis de rehenes del teatro Dubrovka de Moscú, causando la muerte de al menos 123 rehenes. Por otro lado, el carfentanilo, se ha empleado como droga de abuso y como adulterante en otras drogas. En caso de intoxicación por carfentanilo puede ser necesaria la administración de dosis repetidas de antídoto. Los antecedentes expuestos en este trabajo justifican la necesidad de desarrollar y validar un método analítico para la detección del carfentanilo y su metabolito norcarfentanilo en muestras biológicas. (AU)


Carfentanil is a synthetic opioid with a potency 10,000 times greater than that of morphine. For this and other reasons carfentanil is a substance with dual interest, since it has been used as an incapacitating agent and as an abuse drug. Among the toxicokinetic characteristics of carfentanil, its high lipid solubility stands out. In addition, there is the possibility that carfentanil follows a non-linear elimination kinetics. In 2002 this compound was used by the Russian Security Forces to try to resolve the hostage crisis at the Dubrovka theater in Moscow, causing the death of at least 123 hostages. On the other hand, carfentanil has been used as a drug of abuse and as an adulterant in other drugs. In case of carfentanil overdose, the administration of repeated doses of antidote may be necessary. The content of this review justifies the need to develop and validate an analytical method for the detection of carfentanil and its metabolite norcarfentanil in biological samples. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Introducción: En el Ecuador se desconoce la frecuencia, los factores de riesgo, el efecto preciso de las picaduras de escorpión, sus toxinas, la fisiopatología e interacción con la población. Objetivo: Registrar la incidencia de las picaduras de escorpión, el cuadro clínico, su manejo y las limitaciones para la obtención del antídoto en Ecuador. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de cohorte retrospectivo, en el cual se recolectaron datos como edad, sexo, residencia, sitio corporal de picadura, cuadro clínico, tratamiento, estancia médica, referencia a unidad de mayor complejidad, morbilidad y mortalidad, durante el periodo entre enero de 2016 y noviembre de 2018 en la población amazónica del cantón Taisha, provincia de Morona Santiago, Ecuador. Resultados: Se evaluaron 134 picaduras de escorpión, las cuales predominaron en personas adultas (70,9 %). La región corporal más frecuente de picadura fue en las extremidades superiores e inferiores (92,5 %) y el nivel de intoxicación grave correspondió al 12,7 %. La estacionalidad de las picaduras de escorpión predominó en los meses de octubre, abril, diciembre y marzo. La presentación de la morbilidad anual fue mayor en el año 2017 (52,9 %). Conclusiones: Existe una alta incidencia de picaduras de escorpión en la zona de estudio. En el Ecuador la accesibilidad al antídoto es limitada, por lo que es necesario realizar más investigaciones en el tema, incluyendo intervenciones preventivas y curativas.

ABSTRACT

Una de las ventajas de dabigatrán, un nuevo anticoagulante oral de acción directa, es la disponibilidad de un antídoto que permite revertir su actividad: idarucizumab. Este fármaco es utilizado en procedimientos o intervenciones quirúrgicas de urgencia y en hemorragias potencialmente mortales o no controladas.Dabigatrán presenta una semivida de 12-14 horas, alargándose si la función renal está afectada. La decisión de cuándo interrumpir su administración depende del valor del aclaramiento de creatinina y del riesgo hemorrágico de la intervención.Presentamos el caso de un paciente en tratamiento con dabigatrán que ingresa para la realización de una cirugía de cadera tras una caída. Al ingreso se suspende dabigatrán, llevándose a cabo la cirugía al décimo día tras su suspensión. Antes de la cirugía se decide la administración de idarucizumab por continuar alterados los tiempos de coagulación.Exponemos en este caso la falta de mejoría de los tiempos de coagulación tras el uso del antídoto, cuya explicación se pueda deber al largo periodo entre la administración de idarucizumab y la última dosis de dabigatrán administrada (10 días).Por lo tanto, en caso de no poder medir los niveles de dabigatrán, es importante tener en cuenta además de los tiempos de coagulación, aspectos farmacológicos del dabigatrán como la farmacocinética, para evitar la administración innecesaria del antídoto, que puede suponer un riesgo y costes innecesarios. (AU)


One of the advantages of dabigatran, a new direct-acting oral anticoagulant, is the availability of an antidote to reverse its activity: idarucizumab. This drug is used in emergency surgical procedures or interventions and in life-threatening or uncontrolled bleeding.Dabigatran has a half-life of 12-14 hours, lengthening if renal function is affected. The decision on when to interrupt the administration depends on the creatinine clearance rate and the bleeding risk of the procedure.We present the case of a patient on dabigatran treatment who was hospitalized for hip surgery after a fall. On admission, dabigatran was suspended, and surgery was performed on the tenth day after its suspension. Before surgery, it was decided to administer idarucizumab due to continued altered coagulation times.In this case, it is reported the lack of improvement in clotting times after the use of the antidote, which may be explained by the long period of time between the administration of idarucizumab and the last dose of dabigatran administered (10 days).Therefore, in case of dabigatran levels cannot be measured, it is important to consider, in addition to clotting times, pharmacological aspects of dabigatran such as pharmacokinetics, in order to avoid unnecessary administration of the antidote, which may entail unnecessary risk and costs.

ABSTRACT

Snakebite envenomation is considered a neglected tropical disease, affecting tens of thousands of people each year. The recommended treatment is the use of antivenom, which is composed of immunoglobulins or immunoglobulin fragments obtained from the plasma of animals hyperimmunized with one (monospecific) or several (polyspecific) venoms. In this review, the efforts made in the improvement of the already available antivenoms and the development of new antivenoms, focusing on snakes of medical importance from sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, are described. Some antivenoms currently used are composed of whole IgGs, whereas others use F(ab’)2 fragments. The classic methods of attaining snake antivenoms are presented, in addition to new strategies to improve their effectiveness. Punctual changes in immunization protocols, in addition to the use of cross-reactivity between venoms from different snakes for the manufacture of more potent and widely used antivenoms, are presented. It is known that venoms are a complex mixture of components; however, advances in the field of antivenoms have shown that there are key toxins that, if effectively blocked, are capable of reversing the condition of in vivo envenomation. These studies provide an opportunity for the use of monoclonal antibodies in the development of new-generation antivenoms. Thus, monoclonal antibodies and their fragments are described as a possible alternative for the production of antivenoms, regardless of the venom. This review also highlights the challenges associated with their development.


O envenenamento por picada de cobra é considerado uma doença tropical negligenciada, afetando dezenas de milhares de pessoas a cada ano. O tratamento recomendado é o uso de antiveneno, que é composto por imunoglobulinas ou fragmentos de imunoglobulinas obtidos do plasma de animais hiperimunizados com um (monoespecífico) ou vários (poliespecíficos) venenos. Nesta revisão, são descritos os esforços realizados no aprimoramento dos antivenenos já disponíveis e no desenvolvimento de novos antivenenos, com foco em serpentes de importância médica da África Subsaariana e América Latina. Alguns antivenenos atualmente utilizados são compostos por IgGs inteiros, enquanto outros usam fragmentos F(ab’)2. São apresentados os métodos clássicos de obtenção de soros de serpentes, além de novas estratégias para melhorar sua eficácia. São apresentadas mudanças pontuais nos protocolos de imunização, além do uso de reatividade cruzada entre venenos de diferentes serpentes para a fabricação de antivenenos mais potentes e amplamente utilizados. Sabe-se que os venenos são uma mistura complexa de componentes; no entanto, avanços na área de antivenenos mostraram que existem toxinas-chave que, se efetivamente bloqueadas, são capazes de reverter a condição de envenenamento in vivo. Esses estudos oferecem uma oportunidade para o uso de anticorpos monoclonais no desenvolvimento de antivenenos de nova geração. Assim, anticorpos monoclonais e seus fragmentos são descritos como uma possível alternativa para a produção de antivenenos, independente do veneno. Esta revisão também destaca os desafios associados ao seu desenvolvimento.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Las intoxicaciones o las sobredosis de drogas constituyen una fuente importante de morbilidad, mortalidad y gasto en salud en todo el mundo. Especialmente en adultos menores de 35 años, las intoxicaciones vienen a ser la principal causa de paro cardíaco no traumático, siendofármacos más comunes involucrados, analgésicos, antidepresivos, opioides, sin embargo, esto puede variar. Es importante realizar un abordaje rápido, con base en interrogatorio, información de cualquier testigo y evidencia, además la clínica del paciente. El paro cardíaco debido a toxicidad se maneja de acuerdo conlos estándares actuales de reanimación cardiopulmonar básica y avanzada, siguiendo los principios del A, B, C, D, E. Las manifestaciones clínicas y abordaje clínico pueden variar bastante dependiendo de la sustancia involucrada. Las pruebas de laboratorio casi nunca están disponibles en un marco de tiempo que respalde las decisiones de reanimación tempranas, aún así, es recomendable realizarlas. En general los efectos tóxicos pueden reducirse si se limita la absorción del o los fármacos o se aumenta su eliminación. Además, se puede bloquear efectos farmacológicos no deseados con los llamados antídotos. El uso del carbón activado, algunos antídotos específicos, y tratamientos extracorpóreos también se contemplan en la presente revisión.


Abstract Poisoning or drug overdose is a major source of morbidity, mortality and health expenditure worldwide, especially in adults under 35, where it is the leading cause of non-traumatic cardiac arrest, being more common drugs involved, analgesics, antidepressants, opioids, however, this may vary. It is important to make a quick approach, based on questioning, information from any witness and evidence, and the patient's clinic. Cardiac arrest due to toxicity is managed according to current Basic and Advanced life support standards, following the principles of A, B, C, D, E. Clinical manifestations and clinical approach can vary considerably depending on the substance involved. Laboratory tests are almost never available in a time frame that supports early resuscitation decisions, yet it is advisable to perform them. In general, the toxic effects can be reduced if the absorption of the drugs is limited or their elimination increased. In addition, you can block unwanted pharmacological effects with so-called antidotes. The use of activated charcoal, specific antidotes, and extracorporeal treatments are also covered in this review.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La intoxicación por organofosforados es de gran importancia en el campo de la medicina, debido a su uso frecuente en la actividad agrícola, las intoxicaciones producidas por estos agentes pueden ser ocupacionales, accidentales, y con mayor frecuencia por ingesta voluntaria. Una de las mayores repercusiones de los organofosforados es la inhibición del acetil colinesterasa, enzima encargada de hidrolizar el acetil colina. Las manifestaciones clínicas de la intoxicación aguda se deben a la estimulación de receptores muscarínicos y nicotínicos, entre ellas broncorrea, salivación, lagrimeo, broncoespasmo, defecación, emesis, miosis, entre otros. El diagnóstico se realiza mediante la historia clínica y examen físico, de manera adicional con la detección de los niveles en sangre eritrocitaria de acetil colinesterasa o de los metabolitos de los organofosforados. El manejo incluye la descontaminación del agente, la revisión del estado respiratorio y el acceso al soporte ventilatorio, posteriormente se procede con el tratamiento farmacológico que incluye el uso de la atropina, pralidoxima y diazepam. El presente artículo constituye una revisión bibliográfica sobre la intoxicación por organofosforados, sus manifestaciones clínicas, diagnóstico y tratamiento.


Abstract Organophosphorus poisoning is of great importance in the field of medicine due to its frequent use in agriculture, the poisoning by exposure to these agents can be occupational, accidental, and frequently due to voluntary intake. Organophosphorus' intake most notable effects are produced by the inhibition of the acetyl cholinesterase, responsible for hydrolyzing acetyl choline. Clinical manifestations of acute intoxication typically include bronchorrhea, salivation, lacrimation, bronchospasm, defecation, emesis, miosis, among others and they occur due to the stimulation of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors. Diagnosis is made through the interrogation and physical examination, in addition to the detection of acetyl cholinesterase levels or the organophosphates' metabolites in blood testing. Management includes decontamination of the agent, review of respiratory status and access to ventilatory support, followed by pharmacological treatment that includes the use of atropine, pralidoxime and diazepam. The present article constitutes a bibliographic review about the organopho sphorus intoxication, its clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Antidotes may have a relevant role in acute intoxication management and the time until its administration can influence patient survival. PATIENTS AND METHOD: Study conducted by a questionnaire sent in early 2015 to 70 hospitals in Catalonia providing emergency services. Qualitative availability on each antidote was considered adequate when present in at least 80% of hospitals. The quantitative availability was considered adequate when at least 80% of hospitals had the number of units of antidote recommended. RESULTS: Lower complexity hospitals (level A) showed a percentage of adequate qualitative and quantitative availability of 66.7 and 42.9% respectively. In higher complexity hospitals (level B) qualitative and quantitative availability was adequate in 64.5 and 38.7% of the antidotes respectively. Data showed no differences between the different health regions as well as a positive correlation (p<.05) between the number of emergencies attended and the percentage of adequate qualitative availability. CONCLUSIONS: The availability of antidotes in Catalonia hospitals is generally low and shows differences across health regions and depending on level of complexity.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The principal mechanism of cardiac toxicity of bupivacaine relates to the blockade of myocardial sodium channels, which leads to an increase in the QRS duration. Recently, experimental studies suggest that lipid emulsion is effective in reversing bupivacaine cardiac toxicity. We aimed to evaluate the temporal evolution of the QRS widening induced by bupivacaine with the administration of Intralipid. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Twelve pigs were anesthetized with intravenous sodium thiopental 5mg kg(-1) and sevoflurane 1 MAC (2.6%). Femoral artery and vein were canalized for invasive monitoring, analysis of blood gases and determination of bupivacaine levels. After instrumentation and monitoring, a bupivacaine bolus of 4-6 mg kg(-1) was administered in order to induce a 150% increase in QRS duration (defined as the toxic point). The pigs were randomized into two groups of six individuals. Intralipid group (IL) received 1.5 mL kg(-1)of IL over one minute, followed by an infusion of 0.25 mL kg min(-1). Control group (C) received the same volume of a saline solution. The electrocardiographic parameters were recorded, and blood samples were taken after bupivacaine and 1, 5, 10 and 30 minutes after Intralipid/saline administration. RESULTS: Bupivacaine (4.33±0.81 mg/kg in IL group and 4.66±1.15 mg/kg in C group) induced similar electrocardiographic changes in both groups; mean maximal percent increase in QRS interval was 184±62% in IL group, and 230±56% in control group (NS). Lipid administration reversed the QRS widening previously impaired by bupivacaine. After ten minutes of the administration of IL, the mean QRS interval decreased to 132±56% vs. 15±76% relative to the maximum widening induced by bupivacaine, in IL and C group, respectively. CONCLUSION: Intralipid reversed the lengthening of QRS interval induced by the injection of bupivacaine. Time to normalization of electrocardiographic parameters can last more than 10 minutes. While the phenomena of cardiac toxicity persist, resuscitation measures and adequate monitoring should be continued until adequate heart conduction parameters are restored.

ABSTRACT

EN: The stocking of antidotes in various care settings is a subject of debate. A group of experts in hospital pharmacy and both adult and pediatric clinical toxicology was formed to review the Spanish and international literature on the subject with the aim of updating recommendations about which antidotes to stock and in what amounts in hospitals of different levels of complexity. The experts also considered the usual indications for the use of antidotes and dosing. The amount to have on hand was defined as enough to treat an adult weighing 70 kg for 24 hours (or 3 such adults in an A-level hospital; ie, a highly complex center or the reference hospital for an area). The group also listed 34 antidotes that B-level hospitals should stock and 22 that other types of hospital should stock. The recommendations also provide a guide for using the antidotes in the forms of presentation available in Spain in 2015, a list of their main indications and recommended doses, and specific notes on each.


ES: La disponibilidad de antídotos en los diferentes ámbitos asistenciales es un tema objeto de controversia. Se formó un grupo de expertos en Farmacia Hospitalaria y Toxicología Clínica, tanto de adultos como de niños. Se procedió a revisar la bibliografía nacional e internacional sobre el tema, con el objetivo de poder ofrecer una recomendación actualizada sobre los antídotos (tipo y cantidad), que deberían estar presentes en los hospitales en función de su nivel de complejidad asistencial, al tiempo que se recordaban las indicaciones toxicológicas habituales y las recomendaciones más consensuadas de posología. La disponibilidad cuantitativa se definió como la cantidad máxima de antídoto necesaria para tratar durante 24 h a un adulto de 70 kg en hospitales comarcales (nivel A), o a tres en el caso de hospitales de alta tecnología y/o de referencia de provincia (nivel B). Como resultado, se propone un listado de 34 antídotos que deberían estar presentes en hospitales de nivel A y de 22 antídotos para el resto de hospitales. Se ofrece también una guía de utilización de los antídotos seleccionados, con las formas de presentación disponibles en España en el año 2015, las principales intoxicaciones en las que pueden estar indicados, la posología más recomendada y algunas observaciones para cada uno de ellos.
