Toxicology (Oxford Desk Reference)

Edited by Nick Bateman, Robert Jefferson, Simon Thomas, John Thompson, and Allister Vale

Abstract

Overdose and poisoning are one of the most frequent acute medical presentations seen in emergency departments, and high dependency and intensive care facilities. The Oxford Desk Reference: Toxicology provides an authoritative guide for the management of patients with poisoning. Each chapter includes key clinical features and potential treatment options to help physicians to assess the potential severity of the poisoned patient and provide the optimum clinical care. Information is easy to find and assimilate, and topics are self-contained to aid quick diagnosis.
