Question : 1 / 258

A 37-year-old male with history of schizophrenia is brought into the ED. He is throwing medical supplies and screaming that the nurses are FBI agents and that he will kill them all. The hospital’s CL team is consulted, and you decide to start him on 10mg haloperidol daily with good response. The next day, you get report from the patient’s primary team that he is having difficulty breathing, having facial muscle spasms, and his eyes appear to be stuck in an upward gaze. His vitals are T97.5, HR 74, RR 20, and BP 124/82. What is the best pharmaceutical intervention at this time?
