@stephenHRNRP @JulsBudau Fentanyl induced muscle rigidity is caused by fentanyl itself. It’s usually provoked by high-dose fentanyl given over rapid infusion. Here’s a case study we published in the @CMAJ a few years ago. https://t.co/YSWgQ03ITm

When overdoses involve fentanyl induced muscle rigidity or dyskinesia (aka flailing on the W. Coast) they can be difficult to identify and difficult to respond to. More on this ⤵️ https://t.co/YSWgQ03ITm https://t.co/GLdB6ejjt7
@avkwong I have been worn by experienced anaesthetists about this phenomenon - never seen one myself. "Some case reports describe almost immediate reversal of clinical signs with naloxone administration" https://t.co/cVMgqP1uGv

@tmc_RN @ACLakeMD @AjayManhapra @drrickbarnett @RyanMarino @DrMelissaWeimer Rigidity sets in very quickly - associated with high dose and rapid infusion. Sometimes it’s the most pressing feature. https://t.co/Qk80kGZT74

These fentanyl-induced, rigid, wooden overdoses started showing up in 2016. Now they represent 40-60% of cases. Other ODs now involve manic flailing that would usually be associated with crack or gib. Study in CMAJ (sub required) https://t.co/AqUK9h8uGQ
