Toxicological Emergencies

MDMA - Management
Management of MDMA intoxication will be focused on managing the symptoms.  Symptoms most commonly mimic those of other stimulants (tachycardia, hypertension, agitation).  EMS providers must maintain a calm environment and manage threats to airway, breathing or circulation as they present.  Post-stimulant symptoms include feelings of depression, anxiety, exhaustion, and a restless inability to sleep, despite overwhelming fatigue.  These post-stimulant symptoms may last several days.
