Summary

"Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies continues to be the source you can turn to first for any poisoning or overdose. The text provides clear information on every aspect of toxicologic emergencies, from pharmacology to clinical presentation to management." "Fully referenced and featuring a consistent organization, Goldfrank's begins with an in-depth examination of general principles of medical toxicology. It the progresses to the biochemical principles and molecular basis of toxicology, and provides detailed insight into how xenobiotics affect vital signs, organs, and systems throughout the body. Next, a wide spectrum of clinically important exposures -- including drugs, plants, metals, household products, and occupational and environmental xenobiotics are covered within logical categories for easy access to information. Finally, the book concludes with sections on principles for practicing clinical toxicology in today's challenging healthcare environment."--BOOK JACKET.
