Case Report: Cocaine toxicity causing a multi-organ failure and serotonin syndrome
11th International Conference on Internal Medicine & Patient Care
Joshua Soggi
North Manchester General Hospital, UK
ScientificTracks Abstracts: J Palliat Care Med
Abstract
Cocaine use has seen in increase over the years and is associated with several life threatening complications. The way in which this happens is by blocking the uptake of specific monoamine transporters leading to its accumulation and overstimulation within the post-synaptic receptors. It�s important to distinguish the symptoms of acute cocaine toxicity early to ensure appropriate treatment is started as symptoms can manifest rapidly. Here we see a young gentleman presenting with findings of acute agitation and hallucinations manifesting into a cardiac arrest with a multiorgan failure and serotonin syndrome. After admission to ITU post cardiac arrest he was stepped down after a total of 55 days and made a good recovery. We aim to discuss the numerous pathophysiological effects cocaine can have on the body and the significance of these in acute toxicity. Keywords: cocaine toxicity, multi-organ failure, dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrineBiography
