Toxicology Handbook is a practical evidence-based guide on the care of the poisoned patient. This concise text is informed by the latest clinical research and takes a rigorous and structured risk assessment-based approach to decision making in the context of clinical toxicology. It assists the clinician to quickly find information on poisons, toxins, antidotes, envenomings and antivenoms and determine the appropriate treatment for the acutely poisoned patient. Guides clinicians through drug administration and treatment Includes 'handy tips' and 'pitfalls' Incorporates drug dosages and administration are based on current pharmacological regulations Content on drug dosage and administration based on the most up-to-date pharmacological regulations on toxicology Geographical locations of envenomings from snakes, spiders and jellyfish are portrayed on illustrated maps New subchapters include Newer oral anticoagulants (NOACs) and Paracetamol: Modified release formulations

Concisely written – helps the student, trainee, and clinician to find information quickly and easily A simple, easily remembered and elegant framework (R RSI DEAD) forming the basis of care for all toxicology patients Fully revised content, streamlined to be more user-friendly Evidence based and up to date – supports appropriate decision making Helps resolve common treatment dilemmas, including for digoxin and lithium poisoning, corrosive ingestions and management of envenomings Written and edited by experts in the field of toxicology An eBook included in all print purchases Expanded information on agents that are seen with increasing frequency in poisoned patients, including lamotrigine and pregabalin Updated detail on the management of agents including direct oral anticoagulants, digoxin, desvenlafaxine and corrosives Updated and standardised treatment recommendations for dysrhythmias, particularly resulting from drug-induced conduction abnormalities (QRS and QT prolongation) Simplified and standardised approaches to management (particularly cardiovascular toxicity from a variety of agents)
