Jason PY - 2021 T2 - The Atlas of Emergency Medicine, 5e AB - The anticholinergic toxidrome is best illustrated by the mnemonic: hot as a hare, blind as a bat, mad as a hatter, red as a beet, and dry as a bone. As the etiology reflects central and peripheral muscarinic receptor blockade, it is more accurately termed an antimuscarinic toxidrome. A centrally mediated delirium may occur, which is typically not violent but is associated with mumbling speech and persistent “picking” behaviors. Other manifestations include hyperthermia, mydriasis, dry mucus membranes and axillae, tachycardia, decreased gastrointestinal motility, erythematous skin, and urinary retention.
