- The study aimed to analyze the clinical profile of GHB (gamma-hydroxybutyrate) and GBL (gammabutyrolactone) intoxication among European patients, focusing on differences between those using these substances alone versus in combination with other drugs.
- Data were collected over 12 months from Emergency Departments in the Euro-DEN network, including 710 intoxication cases, mostly affecting young males (mean age 31).
- Key findings revealed that most patients arrived by ambulance during weekends, often combining GHB/GBL with other substances like alcohol and amphetamines, leading to a higher incidence of severe symptoms and longer hospital stays compared to those using GHB/GBL alone.
Background: In this paper the structure of poisonings is described, based on the material collected from tele-toxicology consults by the Pomeranian Center of Toxicology in Gdańsk and harvested from its Electronic Poison Information Management System. In addition, we analyzed conclusions drawn from a 27-month operation of the system.
Material And Methods: Data were harvested from the Electronic Poison Information Management System developed in 2012 and used by the Pomeranian Center of Toxicology since then.
