It details practical instructions on care of patients with specific common and/or serious overdoses; for other overdoses, sufficient background is given to allow for appropriate management. It is equally important to know which substances are harmless to avoid unnecessary intervention and a section on non-hazardous agents is included. The final section covers the practical procedures of care and treatment especially when the caused agent may not have been identified |
