This is an updated, revised, improved Thirteenth Edition of Dreisbach's Handbook of Poisoning, long established as the definitive handbook of poisoning for all physicians, nurses, healthcare and crisis and hotline workers, paramedics and students, out of print for several years in its prior editions. Designed as a ready-reference guide, providing an extraordinary amount of information in compact format, the handbook provides a concise summary of medical toxicology, including prevention and management of exposures, poisonings, adverse effects, abuse and withdrawal from pharmaceuticals, and household, environmental and natural hazards. For optimal care of critical or unusual poisonings, the book also contains guidelines for consultations with medical toxicologists and regional poison information centers. Includes bibliographic references and index.

New to the Thirteenth Edition:

  • reflects the latest diagnosis and treatment procedures in emergency rooms and poison centers
  • uses an organizational system that facilitates correlation of poisons with types of exposure
  • serves as a quick guide to more detailed sources of poisoning information, including Web sites and recent articles
  • simplifies sections on management of poisoning for easier use in emergencies
  • lists popular brand-named products in the index, including many insecticides and medicinal agents
  • provides guidelines for consultations with medical toxicologists and regional poison information centers
  • includes chemicals and substances that are now banned in the United States but may still be available elsewhere
  • presents new sections in the medicinal chapters to include the enormous expansion of drugs since the last edition
