Drug overdose? Take a bow! - Teardrop
Posted: Mar 27, 2011
I have a patient who took an overdose of Cogentin and Ativan. Dictator says, as one of the diagnoses, "Altered mental status secondary to a BOW?"
Are there diagnoses that precede it? Maybe - Olive
[ In Reply To ..]secondary to above.
Nothing helpful. - Teardrop
[ In Reply To ..]Sorry, there was nothing helpful at all. I'm sure it's bound to be an acronym for something, perhaps psychiatry-specific slang, but the Med-Lexicon had nothing. The report uploaded with a blank. But, thank you just the same.
bow - MT
[ In Reply To ..]Are they saying the letters BOW, or saying what sounds like the word "bow/bough?" Could be saying "secondary to above."
Just a wild guess - see message
[ In Reply To ..]Just a shot in the dark here, but since Ativan is a benzodiazepine, could the dictator be saying
secondary to BO = benzodiazepine overdose
or maybe even benzodiazepine overdose withdrawal for BOW
that is, if they have not already mentioned Ativan or benzodiazepine in one of the other diagnoses already.
Like I said, kind of grasping at straws here since we cannot listen to the words.
Otherwise, “secondary to above” would make sense to me also.
