FAST FACTS IN CHILDHOOD POISONING

This is a concise book covering all aspects of childhood poisonings. This book was conceptualized when, as a postgraduate student, the author was faced with the daunting task of handling poison cases, in an emergency situation, with no time to open the large textbooks to check every step in the management of the patient. This book has attempted to cover all the needs in a convenient and easy to follow format, with tables, diagrams and algorithms and wherever indicated mnemonics for easy recall. It also covers topics related to prevention of poisoning, counseling for prevention of poisoning, and follow-up care. Extensive research has ensured current management and standard international practices for every topic.
