Description
Kent Grimes and co-authors study drip fluids in stimulant overdose care in a 2026 paper. Emergency staff often give vein fluids by habit to patients high on stimulants. Cocaine and methamphetamine are common examples in such visits. Hardly any evidence says whether the fluids help or merely prolong the stay.
One center reviewed a hundred discharged patients with fast heart rates. Half had received fluids and half had not, by the records. The fluid group's middle stay ran about three hundred forty five minutes. The team adjusted for age, alcohol use, scans, and sedation in their model.
