The #1 reference in the field for the last quarter of a century Goldfrank's Toxicological Emergencies, Eighth Edition has been completely updated to equip emergency physicians with today's most authoritative guide to clinical toxicology. The book presents unsurpassed coverage of all aspects of toxicologic emergencies, from pharmacology and clinical presentation…to treatment guidelines and case studies. Using a unique case-study approach, Goldfrank's fully examines general principles and techniques…the biochemical and molecular basis of toxicology…and how toxins affect vital signs, organs, and systems throughout the body.

The Eighth Edition now features:

• A case-based approach that maximizes understanding of clinical applications of the material.
• Antidotes in depth, offering easy-to-find, detailed guidance on the use of antidotes.
• Quick-reference tables on inside covers, providing immediate access to “must-have” vital-sign statistics, lab values, and common equations.
• New to the Eighth Edition: expanded coverage of bioterrorism, inhalant abuse, and international considerations.
