VERONA, Wis., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Overdoses—often from substances laced with fentanyl— and other unintentional injuries are now the top cause of death for Americans aged 1 to 44, and fentanyl overdoses are the top cause of death in those 18 to 45. In 2020, there were more than 56,000 overdose deaths from fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, which accounted for over 82% of opioid-involved deaths that year. Unfortunately, patients experiencing an overdose are rarely screened for fentanyl or other synthetic opioids when they visit emergency departments (ED). Providers are focused on treating the patient's symptoms and often administer naloxone as a prophylactic in any suspected overdose to give the patient the best chance of survival rather than waiting for toxicology results. Most EDs complete limited toxicology testing on patients that present for an overdose, but those toxicology panels often don't include synthetic opioids, like fentanyl.

Key Points: 
  • Unfortunately, patients experiencing an overdose are rarely screened for fentanyl or other synthetic opioids when they visit emergency departments (ED).
  • Most EDs complete limited toxicology testing on patients that present for an overdose, but those toxicology panels often don't include synthetic opioids, like fentanyl.
  • Their findings, which Epic Research published this morning , include the following:
    Patients are tested for fentanyl during just 5% of overdose-related ED visits.
  • When patients are tested for fentanyl, the positivity rate exceeds 40%more than three times that of opiates like morphine, heroin, and codeine.
