| Publisher Description: Poisoning, one of the most common medical emergencies with a high mortality rate, accounts for 0.3 to 7.6% of total hospital admissions in India. In the developing countries, such patients are initially managed by general physicians or doctors posted at primary health centres. One of the causes for high mortality in such cases is delayed institution of treatment due to lack of knowledge about symptamatology. This book provides clear and concise information about diagnosis and management of various poisonings and also about commonly ingested non-toxic products. It gives the latest information about common medicinal, industrial, agricultural, and household chemicals. The book acts as a practical guide for effective treatment and offers experimental therapies. |
