Your answers are on 🔥! These ice bath dunk tanks are for life-threatening hyperthermia at music festivals. Let’s do a little 🧵 on this *hot* topic in #festivalmedicine: 1/#eventmedicine #toxicology
Festival-goers can get way too hot for many reasons—high outdoor temps, dancing in crowds, & of course, recreational stimulants like MDMA, cocaine and/or amphetamines. 2/
MDMA likely causes hyperthermia by ⬆️ CNS-mediated heat generation, skin vasoconstriction (⬇️ dissipation), ⬇️ sensation of exhaustion, etc. So severe hyperthermia is really dependent on ambient temps, other drugs/meds, and activity level. 3/

"It also means an exponential increase in the # of wireless networks, which are energy-guzzlers (est. to be 10x less efficient than wired networks). In 2015 alone, the energy used to power wireless networks generated approx. 30 megatonnes of carbon, the same as 4.9 million cars."

1 Let’s talk #toxicology! Dr. Kelly Sopko @kelly_sopko shared a RIVETING case of a patient with frequent readmissions, now presenting with agitated delirium and admitted for cough + suspect ETOH intoxication. A curiously broad Ddx! (thread) #clinicalreasoning #medtwitter #MedEd
2 70 year old M PMH bipolar disorder, chronic low back pain, 17 readmits over past 1 year, presents with cough, requesting detox and develops worsening agitation after a dose of ativan given in ED. Thoughts, @VUMCInternalMed and #medtwitter? @VUMCHospitalMed team-generated ddx:
3 Initial labs found here. Anything stand out? Are you impressed? This is from the pre-#COVID19 era, mind you:

...you might hit stomach. Subsequent analysis will reveal drug concentrations that do not reflect what was in blood.
2. While subclavian sticks are more acceptable, be wary of hitting airway-regurgitated stomach contents can be present in airway.

3. Gray top tubes contain sodium fluoride, which prevents postmortem breakdown of some drugs-I have tested antemortem blood (in red top) from hospital which was negative for cocaine and postmortem blood (in gray top) from same individual was positive
