N-Acetyl Cystine (NAC) has been long used as the antidose for acetaminophen poisonings – although with variable implementation. Join host, Geoff Wall, and guest, Kayla Myers, discuss a new consensus guideline for appropriate treatment of acetaminophen overdose.

THE GAMECHANGER: NAC should be used if any doubt of acetaminophen poisoning based on new consensus guidelines. NAC may be used continued beyond standard dosing for chronic or high amounts of acetaminophen.

Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:
1. Apply the new modified Rumack-Matthew nomogram to a potential acetaminophen poisoning
2. Discuss the use of fomepizole in the use of acetaminophen overdose
