Overview

The Third Edition of this standard text has been revised and updated to reflect the most current approaches to the management of acute poisonings. The editors have taken into account the numerous changes in protocols for managing poison ingestions and have again provided under one cover an indispensable resource for all students of pharmacy and the health sciences on the basic principles of clinical toxicology. The book's unique focus on the fundamentals provides an essential understanding of the bases for events that occur and the reasons why a treatment is used or not used. Each chapter presents pertinent information on classes of toxic agents, their common sources and usual methods of intoxication, incidence and frequency of poisoning, mechanism(s) of action, clinical signs and symptoms of poisoning, and management guidance. The text includes illustrative case studies carefully selected to reinforce the information covered. Each chapter concludes with review questions to further enhance comprehension.
