All antipsychotic (neuroleptic) medications, both atypical and conventional, can trigger the onset of an adverse and often fatal medication reaction, neuroleptic malignant syndrome. Thousands of patients die or are seriously harmed each year from NMS. Signs & symptoms may include irregular heart rate, increased temperature, diaphoreses, rigidity & significant confusion. NMS often remains undiagnosed and untreated in its early stages due to a lack of adequate training in identifying early signs and symptoms. Detection of Suspected Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome: Three Case Examples is the Winner of the Patient Care Best Film Award at the International Health and Medical Film Competition, sponsored by Time Inc. Health. Using three actual case examples, (Christine, Neal and Valerie), this program presents the unique and serious challenges that arise in detecting suspected NMS. In two of the cases, fatalities resulted from failure to identify signs & symptoms suggesting NMS. CD is new and unused. CD case may have light scuff marks on front and back.
