This critical care toxicology resource details patient care from hospital admission and treatment all the way through stabilization, monitoring, and discharge. It presents practical, state-of-the-art treatment recommendations based on initial and subsequent presentation of symptoms, and describes when it's safe to discharge the patient. Individual sections comprehensively cover general management of the critically poisoned patient, toxic syndromes, poisoning by medications, drugs of abuse, chemical agents, biological toxins, agents of chemical and biological terrorism, and antidotes.
