Overdose heroin

Respiratory g and 5 ligands participate in the regulation of respiration (Su et al. 1998). Respiratory suppression is a regular feature of morphine, which suppresses all phases of respiration. Respiratory arrest is the most frequent cause of death from morphine or heroin overdose. In... [Pg.309]

The role of methadone and opiates in accidental overdose deaths in New York City has been investigated using data from the Office of Chief Medical Examiner of all accidental drug overdose deaths between 1990 and 1998 (51). There were 7451 overdose deaths in all during this period, of which 1024 were methadone-induced, 4627 were heroin-induced, and 408 were attributable to both. Thus, 70% of the deaths from accidental overdose were due to opiates. Co-variates significantly associated with methadone-induced deaths were female sex, older age, and absence of cocaine, heroin, cannabis, and alcohol in toxic screens. Co-variates associated with heroin overdose were male sex, Caucasian or Hispanic ethnicity, younger age, and the absence of cocaine and methadone and the presence of cannabis and alcohol in toxic screens.

All the studies demonstrated clearly that opiates could be detected in extracts from both head and axillary or pubic samples of drug abusers (Table 1). Concentrations measured in the different kinds of hair are similar in magnitude whatever the opiate analyzed. With one exception (Balabanova and Wolf ), the highest concentrations were found in pubic hair, followed by scalp hair and axillary hair. This has been confirmed in oxu" laboratory by a compilation of results obtained recently in 16 fatal heroin overdoses (Table 2). Besides, we found a very significant correlation between head hair and axillary or pubic hair concentrations for any of the opiates tested. On the other hand, even in patients receiving daily methadone treatment (Balabanova and Wolf ), no correlation has been reported between blood and head or nonhead opiate concentrations. This is not surprising since blood concentration represents a measure at the present moment and hair concentration represents a chronic accumulation. [Pg.281]
