Abstrakt | Drug intoxications in Slovenia account for about two- thirds of all intoxications in adult patients, mostly due to intentional ingestion in suicidal attempts. The most frequent intoxications are those by drugs for the ner- vous system (80 %). Anxiolytics, hypnotics, and seda- tives, particularly benzodiazepines, represent 45 % of all medications ingested in suicidal purposes. They are followed by intoxications with antipsychotics, antide- pressants, and drugs for the musculoskeletal system, primarily analgesics. The most frequently observed cli- nical feature of severe drug intoxications is a reduced level of consciousness. Treatment is primarily sympto- matic, although some drug intoxications can be trea- ted with specific antidotes. In order to treat drug intoxications successfully, we need to know their toxi- cokinetic and toxicodynamic features. To improve pre- vention and treatment of intoxications, we need information of all intoxication in Slovenia, which can only be achieved through regular reporting of intoxica- tions to the Slovenian Register of Intoxications. | |
