Disseminated Intravascular Coagulopathy Secondary to Unintentional Brodifacoum Poisoning via Synthetic Marijuana

Abstract

Recent evidence demonstrates a rising epidemic of unintentional brodifacoum poisoning associated with synthetic cannabinoid use. Synthetic cannabinoid use is on the rise because of its inexpensiveness as well as difficulty to screen and regulate. We present a rare case of severe coagulopathy and cardiac arrest secondary to synthetic cannabinoid use complicated by brodifacoum toxicity.
