Hello, first sorry if there's a thread for this but I couldn't find N megathread. I wanted to share and discuss this very recent report about a man surviving ingestion of (implied not certain dose) 20 g of N. He called emergencies 10 min later and got treated 20 min after ingestion.
The last part worries me, can someone explain what they mean by this?
"Assessment of brainstem death should be deferred until PB has been adequately eliminated."
They mean brain damage, correct? Seems like they're still updating it.
Deliberate Self-poisoning with a Lethal Dose of Pentobarbital with Confirmatory Serum Drug Concentrations: Survival After Cardiac Arrest with Supportive Care - PubMed
Average PB concentration in fatalities is reported around 30 mg/L. This patient survived higher serum concentrations with early CPR and prolonged cardiorespiratory support in the ICU. Assessment of brainstem death should be deferred until PB has been adequately eliminated.
