Abstract

Introduction: "Delta-8," or delta-8 tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8 THC), is a cannabinoid product that is growing in popularity for recreational use across the nation. This report aims to characterize the clinical presentation of acute delta-8 ingestions presenting to the emergency department.

Case series: This is a case series of 6 patients who presented to a regional network of small- and medium-volume emergency departments in northwest Wisconsin. Patient histories confirmed that all patients had delta-8 exposure. Patient ages ranged from 5 to 57 years old. Amounts ingested and routes of ingestions varied from patient to patient. The most common symptoms reported were respiratory depression, unresponsiveness, altered mental status, tachycardia, and chest pressure.

Conclusions: This case series is a snapshot of the burden experienced by emergency departments because of delta-8 availability. Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for delta-8 use, especially in patients with altered mental status, anxiety, or cardiac.

急诊科中的 Delta-8 四氢大麻酚:病例系列。
简介:"δ-8,或δ-8 四氢大麻酚(δ-8 THC),是一种大麻素产品,在全美休闲用途中越来越受欢迎。本报告旨在描述急诊科急性摄入δ-8 的临床表现特征:本系列病例是威斯康星州西北部一个由中小型急诊科组成的区域网络中的 6 名患者的病例。患者病史证实所有患者都曾接触过δ-8。患者年龄从 5 岁到 57 岁不等。摄入量和摄入途径因人而异。最常见的症状是呼吸抑制、反应迟钝、精神状态改变、心动过速和胸闷:本系列病例是急诊科因δ-8供应而承受的负担的缩影。临床医生应高度怀疑患者使用了δ-8,尤其是精神状态改变、焦虑或心脏病患者。
