In a public hospital emergency room, 580 urines were screened for phencyclidine (
PCP
) with the routine EMIT-DAU
PCP
screen, the extended EMIT-DAU
PCP
screen, and a gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer/computer (GC/MS/
COMP
) in selected ion mode, which was chosen as the reference method. The extended method produced a 38.5% increase in positives detected over the routine EMIT-DAU
PCP
screen and allowed 66.4% of the specimens to be signed out as negative without confirmation by GC/MS/
COMP
. This ability to provide a rapid, relatively inexpensive screen for
PCP
in urine and, in particular, to eliminate those patients whose specimens are negative, is important in a psychiatric population that contains many acutely psychotic individuals with grossly abnormal behavior.
