Dear all,
We are currently trying to sort out the issue of clearing the intoxicated psych patients who present to the ED. What is the experience out there of using breathalysers to clear these patients? Is anyone else using any other form of near patient toxicology testing as part of the management/protocol for 'clearing' these patients.
Thanks,
