C. Potential debriefing topics<br />
1. Team dynamics<br />
a. Leadership<br />
b. Collaboration<br />
c. Communication<br />
d. Professionalism<br />
2. Didactic material<br />
a. Pathophysiology<br />
i. Review/reinforce parasympathetic function<br />
ii. Rest and digest Cholinergic excess<br />
iii. ACh accumulation throughout the nervous system results in<br />
overstimulation of muscarinic and nicotinic receptors<br />
iv. Pesticide poisonings are the most common modes of poisoning<br />
fatalities<br />
b. Presentation<br />
i. SLUDGE: salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, gastric<br />
distress, emesis<br />
ii. BBB: bradycardia, bronchorrhea, bronchospasm<br />
iii. DUMBBELS: defecation-diaphoresis, urination, miosis,<br />
bronchorrhea, bradycardia, emesis, lacrimation, salivation<br />
c. Treatment<br />
i. Atropine, atropine, atropine (and more atropine until respiratory<br />
secretions decrease)<br />
ii. Pralidoxime (2-PAM)<br />
iii. Emphasis that organophosphate toxicity is a clinical diagnosis<br />
Development and Deployment<br />
This case was developed as part of a graduate-level science course (college, PhD students), and has been<br />
deployed as a standard course offering. Variants have also been used to teach medical students as part of<br />
an instructional pharmacology module.<br />
