Acute complications and treatment in critically ill patients with 3,4-methylenedioxymetamfetamine intoxication: a 10-year retrospective observational study in an intensive care unit in an Amsterdam hospital
The three most common complications of 3,4-methylenedioxymetamfetamine use necessitating intensive care admission were a threatened airway due to trismus, hyponatraemia and hyperthermia. Severe complications can arise, especially in patients presenting with hyperthermia. Although the majority of patients included in this study made a full recovery, 4% died.
