A practical guide to the laboratory analysis of over 100 substances
frequently involved in episodes of acute poisoning. Noting that
many hospitals, especially in developing countries, lack the
support of analytical toxicology services, the book aims to help
laboratory staff perform a range of simple tests known to produce
rapid and reliable results for the management of poisoning
emergencies. All tests described can be performed without the need
for sophisticated equipment, expensive reagents, or a continuous
supply of electricity. The manual opens with general information
about the organization and functions of an analytical toxicology
laboratory, the principles of safe laboratory practice, and the
essentials of emergency medicine and intensive care that will
influence the laboratory's work. Two chapters, which constitute the
core of the manual, describe the many simple analytical tests that
can be used to detect and identify poisons, whether in biological
fluids or in powders, tablets, or other items found near the
patient. The first chapter, on qualitative tests for poisons, sets
out a three-part series of tests designed for use as a routine,
rapid screen, especially appropriate in the many cases where the
identity of the poison is unknown. The second and most extensive
chapter provides step-by-step instructions for the performance of
qualitative tests and some quantitative methods for 113 specific
poisons or groups of poisons. Substances covered range from
pesticides and other industrial chemicals, through compounds
contained in household products, to pharmaceuticals, plant toxins,
and drugs commonly abused.
