From the Back Cover
The Toxicology Handbook is the portable poisonings resource for
all emergency medicine staff -- physicians, trainees, nurses, rural and
remote GPs, and healthcare workers. This book will also be a vital resource
for paramedics, pharmacists and general practitioners, and a useful guide
to local poisons for overseas trained doctors.
This guide provides an easily followed approach to the assessment and
management of common, unusual and life-threatening poisonings. Separate
sections address envenoming problems specific to Australia, New Zealand and
the South Pacific. This easy-to-use handbook has a practical clinical
focus, contains the authors' "Handy tips" and "Common pitfalls" in the
management of common, unusual and life-threatening poisonings, and includes
specific paediatric and pregnancy considerations.
