Abstract

Syncope, defined as a sudden loss of consciousness associated with loss of postural tone, followed by spontaneous complete recovery, accounts for about 1% of emergency department visits. About half of these result in hospital admission. Because the stakes are high, yet the diagnostic yield of indiscriminate work-ups is low, emergency medicine physicians and hospitalists struggle to decide which patients will benefit from hospitalization, for how long, and the optimal timing and intensity of subsequent follow-up or testing. Accurate syncope risk stratification lies at the heart of these difficult decisions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Knowing absorption is complete and the liver has cleared APAP normally provides the rationale for stopping antidotal treatment, and a repeat APAP value can provide this information. 1 Dougherty PP, Klein-Schwartz W. Unexpected late rise in plasma acetaminophen concentrations with change in risk stratification in acute acetaminophen overdoses. Liver unit admission following paracetamol overdose with concentrations below current UK treatment thresholds. [Extracted from the article]

105. Reversal of Severe Methanol-Induced Visual Impairment: No Evidence of Retinal Toxicity Due to Fomepizole

Abstract

Case Report:We report a case of methanol poisoning exhibiting complete recovery from severe visual impairment following treatment with ethanol, fomepizole, and hemodialysis. An adult male presented with central blindness after ingesting methanol. Initial visual acuity was < 20800 (finger counting at 1–2 feet) with retinal edema on fundoscopy, arterial pH 7.19, methanol 97 mgdL (30 mmolL), formate 14.3 mmolL, and ethanol undetectable. The patient was treated with ethanol, then fomepizole intravenously (15, 10, then 5 mgkg), and hemodialysis. Methanol metabolism was effectively blocked by fomepizole even after ethanol had been eliminated, and the patient recovered 2020 vision by day 14 with normal fundoscopy. This case report confirms highly efficient inhibition of alcohol dehydrogenase by fomepizole, as well as demonstrate the safety of fomepizole in a patient already exhibiting end-organ retinal toxicity. The potential for fomepizole to inhibit retinol dehydrogenase, an isoenzyme of alcohol dehydrogenase essential to vision, did not appear to be clinically significant in this symptomatic methanol-poisoned patient.
