Overview

The patient on the resuscitation bay stretcher took something an hour ago, the family does not know what, the QRS is widening, and the answer cannot wait. Toxicology guesses kill - the missed sodium channel block, the unrecognized cholinergic crisis, the anticoagulant ICH treated without the right reversal agent, the elderly patient given a Beers-listed drug that ended her independence. This handbook teaches the structured clinical reasoning that turns the undifferentiated overdose into the right antidote at the right dose at the right minute. Inside this book: - The Antidote Protocol Atlas - locate the right agent, the right dose, and the right tier (ED stock, pharmacy, Strategic National Stockpile) for every toxic exposure you meet in acute practice - Toxidrome-first thinking - recognize anticholinergic, cholinergic, sympathomimetic, opioid, sedative, and serotonergic syndromes before laboratory confirmation arrives - Toxicologic ECG mastery - read sodium channel blockade, QT prolongation, bidirectional VT, and hyperkalemic digoxin toxicity and act on what you see - One pill can kill - anticipate the calcium channel blocker, opioid, sulfonylurea, and TCA exposures that turn fatal in toddlers - Anticoagulant ICH in the fallen elder - match idarucizumab, andexanet alfa, or 4F-PCC to the specific agent on board in the minutes that matter - Envenomations across regions - manage crotaline, coral snake, black widow, scorpion, and marine envenomations with the right antivenom and the right adjunct - CBRN and mass casualty - deploy DuoDote, potassium iodide, DTPA, and Prussian Blue from CHEMPACK and the Strategic National Stockpile when the incident commander activates Written for emergency physicians, emergency medicine residents, medical toxicology fellows, intensivists, hospitalists, advanced practice providers, pharmacists, and nurses who manage acute poisoning across the lifespan. Bring this handbook to every shift where you might meet an undifferentiated toxic patient - and meet that patient prepared.
