Evidence-based and age-specific, this book guides the clinician through the diagnosis and management of the poisoned pediatric patient

5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW!
"This book, the first of its kind and long overdue, is an authoritative text on poisonings in the pediatric population....This is a wonderfully organized book that begins with historical perspectives of the evolving field of toxicology, discusses unique considerations of pediatric patients, reviews prescriptive and nonprescriptive poisonings, common household and environmental poisonings, and methods of decontamination and antidotes....Its organization and clear presentation are only superseded by its complete coverage."--Doody's Review Service

Features high yield facts at the start of each chapter, case presentations throughout, a 200+ question self-assessment section, antidote dosage tables, colour plates, and coverage of herbal products, vitamins, cosmetics, spider bites, and snake bites.
