Description

Recognized since the 1960’s, serotonin syndrome is a condition that occus in patients taking proserotonergic medications/substances and is characterized by altered mental status, neuromuscular abnormalities, and autonomic dysfunction, including hyperthermia. The clinical findings occur on a continuum, and thus may mimic other pathologies. Medical and clinical toxicologists are expected to understand drug-drug interactions and clinical scenarios with the potential for serotonin toxicity. Using an interactive journal club discussion format, this webinar will describe the mechanism of toxicity for serotonin syndrome including gradient of toxicity by receptors. It will discuss which drugs DO NOT cause a serotonin toxidrome but have been wrongfully implicated, as well as outline which drugs are strongly associated with serotonin toxidrome. Finally, it will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of diagnostic criteria and modified criteria for serotonin syndrome.
