Toxidromes Compared: Anticholinergic, Cholinergic, Opioid, Sympathomimetic, Sedative-Hypnotic During your physical exam, look for evidence of some of the classic toxidromes. Anticholinergic, cholinergic, opioid, sympathomimetic or sedative-hypnotic. -- edit: Reddit Feedback ( https://www.reddit.com/r/medicalschool/comments/bm7apl/common_toxidromes_illustrated_reference_table/ ) -- "Right if the bat (without looking further down) clinical features of acute cholinergic toxicity that you are missing include bradycardia, bronchorrhea, bronchospasm... Opioid toxicity isn't really associated strongly with bradycardia. There are a lot of specific features of each toxidrome that are missing, this seems a little forced" "I'd trim bowel sounds, it's general surgeon voodoo of the highest order and I'd argue potentially misleading to use in practice."
