ICD-11 code : 6C43.3;
Preferred Label : Opioid intoxication;
ICD-11 definition : Opioid intoxication is a clinically significant transient condition that develops
during or shortly after the consumption of opioids that is characterized by disturbances
in consciousness, cognition, perception, affect, behaviour, or coordination. These
disturbances are caused by the known pharmacological effects of opioids and their
intensity is closely related to the amount of opioids consumed. They are time-limited
and abate as opioids are cleared from the body. Presenting features may include somnolence,
mood changes (e.g., inappropriate euphoria followed by apathy and dysphoria), reduced
movement, impaired judgment, respiratory depression, slurred speech, and impairment
of memory and attention. In severe intoxication coma may ensue. A characteristic physical
sign is pupillary constriction but this sign may be absent when intoxication is due
to synthetic opioids. Severe opioid intoxication can lead to death due to excessive
respiratory depression.;
