Patients presenting with acute toxin ingestion

Anesthesiol Clin. 2010 Mar;28(1):117-37. doi: 10.1016/j.anclin.2010.01.002.

Abstract

Organ toxicity caused by poisons or drug therapy is diverse and may not be commonly encountered clinically. In general, commonly encountered conditions caused by drug/toxin pharmacology can be classified into 7 categories by shared mechanisms of organ injury. This review of drug/toxin-induced injury discusses drug or toxin-induced pathology that the clinician may encounter and therapeutic approaches to these syndromes.
