All Journals from Edward Banham-Hall
I read with interest the review article on the management of toxological emergencies , published in the last edition of the journal (E. Banham-Hall, R. Mallinson: Poisoning and toxological emergencies – acute trends and practice. Acute Medicine 2009 8(2) p17-21).
Abstract
Poisoning is a common presentation to hospital acute medical units, and can produce a variety of clinical scenarios. This review discusses the epidemiology of poisoning, a framework for managing patients with drug toxicity and considerations in the diagnosis of toxicity with unknown substances. The commonest substances seen in toxicity in the UK – paracetamol, antidepressants, sedatives and opioids are discussed in more detail.
