Podcast # 462: Death after OD

Author: Don Stader, MD

Educational Pearls:

  • 10% of patients seen in the emergency department for opioid overdose patients will die within a year
  • Half of these overdoses will occur in the next month
  • This mortality rate is higher than patients with STEMI, of which 7% will die within one year
  • Take-home naloxone, as well as medication assisted treatment like buprenorphine can save lives
