Death from the orange 3mm EMT needle, just tring to help another
NO Absolutly not, there are these things called blood-borne parasites/bacteria (feell sorry for all you germaphobes on Ice, scatching at bugs that arnt there and shit) and also AIDScan be transported one way and contracted another...... Aids is on everything!!!! west nile, staff, shit you name it if that blood has been sitting at room temp 4 over 15 min. you can bet somethings growin in it. Could be a stomach virus or fucking eboli(if ur in africa) take no chances. I have hep c from doing dumb things. imagine living with a virus you gave yourself, Its going to take twenty hears off my life!!!! But all be damned if I stop my lifestyle everyone has to pass someday. Urs might be in that eboloa

good question, As significant x-Junk use, I know what blood your talking about. now the cottons on the other hand........ U could wash um.... as long as there not contaminated..8)
Use to be an emt got a hot handle on the safe workings for IV use.. Off the street junky life expectancy 20 years with a junk habit, ave recreational EMT dude there narcan on call 24 7 if someone gets to wild... 1 ml will straight breath reality back to them (with a headache of course)
With speed we really never counter acted it bc. 90% of the call are either wiggin out people or rookies who think there going to die./
The goals of pharmacotherapy are to reduce the toxic effects of the drug, reduce morbidity, and prevent complications.
usual assessment:
get airway control, oxygenation and ventilation support, and appropriate monitoring is required. hypertension, hypotension, hyperthermia, metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities, and control of severe psychiatric agitation are indicate
Treat hyperactive or agitated patients with droperidol or haloperidol, butyrophenones which antagonize CNS dopamine receptors and mitigate the excess dopamine produced from methamphetamine toxicity. Multiple human and animal studies attest to the efficacy of droperidol and haloperidol in acute methamphetamine toxicity.51,52,39 However, droperidol has been subject to a Black Box warning by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and, as a result, some institutions restrict its use. The doses of these medications should be titrated to the symptoms and should be administered intravenously
if heart palpitations become a issue or blood pressure is through the roof
Hypertension and tachycardia(bloods moving faster than the heart can move it through the veins usually 215 BPM, bad)(first line of choice is Benzodiazpines(not lorazapam though, interaction... usually Versed do it right the first time no repeat)
* If sedation fails to reduce blood pressure, antihypertensive agents such as beta-blockers and vasodilators, are effective in reversing methamphetamine-induced hypertension.
* With regard to choice of beta-blockers, labetalol is preferred because of combined anti–alpha-adrenergic and anti–beta-adrenergic effects. Esmolol is advantageous because of its short half-life but must be administered via IV drip. Metoprolol has excellent CNS penetration characteristics and may also ameliorate agitation. These drugs should be given IV in smaller than usual doses and titrated to effect.
* In rare instances(mofo has eaten a 4 gm piece, or if theres anything over five grams and its been over 30 and untold amount has been ingested, surgery is scheduled immediately , afterload reduction with agents such as hydralazine, nitroprusside, or fenoldopam may be necessary.
* Patients with chest pain and suspected ACS should also receive sublingual nitroglycerin(super headache got dared to take on as a initiation prank, opana wouldn't stop my headache)if their blood pressure is normal or elevated.
I hope Ive scared u enough to know the danger Im not perfect I still poppum. But I prefer IM it last longer. and is way way safer even with amphetes, hell dexro has a very low LDL when administered IM
check this link out its got alot of info But ignore the title its majority toxicity report
