Inhaltsangabe

Connect the toxic exposure to the physiology—and build a structured understanding of the critically poisoned patient.

Severe poisoning can present as shock, seizures, respiratory failure, altered consciousness, or an unexplained metabolic disturbance. Understanding the mechanism behind these findings provides a foundation for assessment, resuscitation, and ongoing care.

Toxicologic Emergencies in Critical Care brings these principles together in 27 organized chapters for critical care clinicians, emergency medicine professionals, pharmacists, and clinical trainees.

Inside, you will explore:

Toxicokinetics, toxicodynamics, initial assessment, resuscitation, and bedside toxidrome recognition.
• Laboratory findings, electrocardiographic changes, acid-base disturbances, and the limitations of toxicology testing.
• Gastrointestinal decontamination, enhanced elimination, antidote principles, and access to specialist consultation.
• Acetaminophen, salicylates, opioids, sedative-hypnotics, cardiovascular drugs, antidepressants, and antipsychotics.
• Toxic alcohols, carbon monoxide, cyanide, methemoglobinemia, stimulants, pesticides, heavy metals, and agricultural poisons.
• Envenomation, toxic plants and mushrooms, and poisoning in special populations.
• Extracorporeal removal, rescue therapies, disposition, ethics, and systems of care.

The book connects mechanisms of toxicity with clinical presentation and management principles, helping readers organize complex information across different exposures. Chapter summaries reinforce the main concepts, while dedicated coverage of supportive care keeps attention on the physiological problems that make poisoning life-threatening.

Whether you are strengthening your foundation during training or reviewing critical toxicology concepts, this guide provides a structured educational resource for understanding severe poisoning and its complications.

For professional education alongside current protocols, product information, and poison-center or clinical toxicology consultation.
