Journal of medical toxicology : official journal of the American College of Medical Toxicology [J Med Toxicol] Journal article | | Title | Case Files of the Medical Toxicology Fellowship at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix, AZ: A Non-Warfarin Anticoagulant Overdose. | | Author(s) | Gresham C, Levine M, Ruha AM | | Institution | Department of Medical Toxicology, Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center, Banner Poison Control Center, Phoenix, AZ. | | Source | J Med Toxicol 2009 Dec; 5(4):242-9. | | Abstract | A 50-year-old man presented to the emergency department (ED) following an overdose of his "blood thinners." The patient had become increasingly depressed over financial concerns, prompting a suicide attempt. He declined to provide any details regarding his current medications or his past medical history. A review of the computerized medical record, however, revealed he had a Factor V Leiden mutation with multiple venothromboembolic events. He previously had an inferior vena cava filter placed, and had received tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) for a cerebrovascular accident. A toxicology consult was obtained in the ED. | | Language | eng | | Pub Type(s) | Journal Article
