Toxicology Guide for EMS & Critical Care Transport

The Code Blue Field Guide: Toxicology is a digital clinical reference designed for advanced EMS, flight, ground critical care transport, and nursing clinicians who manage poisoned, overdosed, or toxin-exposed patients during transport.

This guide is built around the decisions that matter most in toxicology transport: toxidrome recognition, ECG interpretation, antidote timing, airway management, monitoring for delayed deterioration, and clear bedside handoff.

Inside the guide, you’ll find transport-focused chapters on:

• Toxidrome recognition and universal toxicology principles
• Opioid and sedative-hypnotic toxicity
• Sympathomimetic toxicity
• Serotonin syndrome
• Anticholinergic toxicity
• Calcium channel blocker and beta-blocker overdose
• Sodium channel blocker and TCA toxicity
• Digoxin toxicity
• Acetaminophen overdose
• Salicylate toxicity
• Toxic alcohol poisoning
• Organophosphate poisoning
• Carbon monoxide and cyanide poisoning
• Methemoglobinemia
• Local anesthetic systemic toxicity

Each section is organized for clinical action, including red flags, recognition patterns, diagnostic interpretation, antidote dosing, transport monitoring, troubleshooting, and SBAR handoff templates.

This guide is especially useful for clinicians who want a structured reference for high-risk toxicology transports where standard rules may not apply, antidote supply matters, and deterioration can occur hours after initial stability.
