Toxidromes Compared: Anticholinergic, Cholinergic, Opioid, Sympathomimetic, Sedative-Hypnotic



During your physical exam, look for evidence of some of the classic toxidromes. Anticholinergic, cholinergic, opioid, sympathomimetic or sedative-hypnotic.

"Right if the bat (without looking further down) clinical features of acute cholinergic toxicity that you are missing include bradycardia, bronchorrhea, bronchospasm... Opioid toxicity isn't really associated strongly with bradycardia. There are a lot of specific features of each toxidrome that are missing, this seems a little forced"
