TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Phencyclidine overdose: an emerging concept of management JO - Journal of the American College of Emergency Physicians A1 - Aronow, R. A1 - Done, A. K. SP - 56 EP - 59 VL - 7 IS - 2 N2 - Emergency physicians should be prepared to treat overdosage from phencyclidine, a common street drug abused throughout North America. A dearth of laboratory resources to establish the diagnosis makes it essential that diagnoses include awareness of symptomatology. A specific therapeutic approach utilizing ion-trapping by continuous gastric suctioning and acidification of urine and/or blood can be used successfully to treat these patients.
