Poisoning and Drug Overdose, Sixth Edition (Poisoning & Drug Overdose) 6th Edition

Para todos aquellos médicos y/o farmacéuticos que buscan un libro de toxicología enfocado más en condiciones médicas (no industriales ni ambientales), este es el libro perfecto. Presenta la información de manera concisa, concreta, brindando detalles desde el mecanismo de acción, las dosis tóxicas, la presentación clínica del cuadro, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento. El único detalle es que para ciertas intoxicaciones, por ejemplo con paraquat/diquat (que son muy comunes), no brinda mucha información respecto al manejo farmacológico del mismo, cuando ya existe evidencia de múltiples combinaciones de medicamentos que ayudan a evitar las lesiones de caracter oxidativo por radicales libres. Un punto a favor es que abarca desde intoxicaciones por medicamentos, hasta productos químicos de uso común y plantas medicinales, convirtiendola en una referencia bibliográfica bastante completa. 100% recomendado.

As one newer to the field of toxicology, I am very pleased with this resource. The information is very concise and in alphabetical order. This book is available at my place of work and several of my colleagues, nurses and physicians, have their own copies for reference. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a concise source of toxicological information.

The content in the book provides very basic information on handling poisonings and overdoses. I have completed some training at a poison control center, so I am familiar with expected information when handling an emergent poisoning and overdose case.The handbook is mainly useful if you have no background in toxicology and are seeking to attain a basic understanding in managing drug and substance exposures.

I'ts a good choice to know the specific manifestation and treatment for specific agent overdose, but is not easy find that inforrmation in the book

For all ER, IM residents doing their tox rotation. This book is pretty high yield.If you read Section one prior to your rotation, you will shine in your first week.Even during the rotation, I'm coontinually going back to this book.A book that I will also bring with me to my ER.

I've used several editions of this book. They have never disappointed. Good quick reference for toxicology. For more detail, you'd need to check Goldfrank's. This is pretty much all a medical student or resident would need to know in toxicology.

It's a great book but a little boring. I think it could be a great book to refer to when you need to learn about some specific poisoning. It could be pretty boring when it comes to reading it as such for more than half an hour.

I really am glad I went with this deal. The book is small (but thick) and easy to carry with me, and the index is more than helpful. Might even consider ordering for some coworkers of mine. =)

Very difficult to use in Kindle form. I should have know this and purchased the hard copy. One needs to use the text as a reference and it is not so handy in this form Buy the text version.

Ho ricevuto il libro entro la data prevista. Corrispondeva alla descrizione e l'ho trovato molto interessante ed utile per un rapido e completo approccio alle intossicazioni.

A good reference book which should be in every doctor's library. There is enough detail and practical solutions. Information which may be needed quickly, and which, by experience, takes a long time to find online.

Après sa version papier, une version ebook présente l'avantage d'être en permanence transportable et disponible. Une fonction recherche dans le livre permet de trouver rapidement ce que l'on cherche.Il vaut vraiment la peine pour les professionnels des hôpitaux.
