About this book

Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies 11th edition by Lewis S. Nelson, Mary Ann Howland, Neal A. Lewin, Silas W. Smith, Lewis R. Goldfrank, and Robert S. Hoffman provides comprehensive guidance on the recognition, diagnosis, and management of poisoning and toxic exposures. The text combines fundamental toxicology with evidence based clinical approaches to patients presenting with drug overdose, chemical exposure, environmental toxins, and other toxicologic emergencies.

The 11th edition covers the general approach to poisoned patients, toxicokinetics, toxicodynamics, decontamination, enhanced elimination, antidotal therapy, and the effects of xenobiotics on major organ systems. Detailed sections address pharmaceuticals, drugs of abuse, alcohols, gases, metals, pesticides, household chemicals, plants, animals, occupational exposures, environmental toxins, toxicologic disasters, and special patient populations.

This textbook is intended primarily for medical toxicology fellows, emergency medicine physicians and residents, poison center professionals, pharmacists, and clinicians managing patients with suspected poisoning or overdose. Its case based discussions, differential diagnosis guidance, treatment strategies, antidote information, and detailed analysis of toxic agents support fellowship education, emergency department practice, poison consultation, board preparation, and management of complex exposures.

Medical toxicologists, emergency physicians, residents, pharmacists, poison specialists, and other clinicians can use this edition to identify toxic syndromes, evaluate exposures, select appropriate antidotes, plan supportive care, and manage acute poisoning. The complete 11th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for clinical reference, toxicology training, emergency medicine study, and professional review.
