Learn about the latest advances in Assessment and Life Support of the Poisoned Patient and understand the hematological affectation that occurs in acute poisonings"

Poisonings are a very frequent reason for consultation in emergency rooms, being a cause of morbidity and mortality in all ages. Consequently, it is necessary to have a medical team that performs an adequate approach to any patient with this condition, as well as to know the potentially toxic substances, their effects and specific antidotes in case they are needed.

To achieve the above, an adequate anamnesis must be performed, that is to say, an exhaustive interrogation of the patient to know the type of toxicant to which they were exposed. Then a clinical symptomatological assessment and finally a complementary evaluation. In this way, a program has been designed based fundamentally aimed at the daily practice of the profession, referring to the study of those toxicants that come into contact with patients most frequently, minimizing as much as possible the theoretical foundations of the subject and focusing on the clinical care of the poisoned patient. At the same time, we have given special importance to the practical approach required for therapeutic success.
