Abstract

The number of acute poisonings admitted to emergency departments increases constantly. These add to a more and more increasing emergency activity. There for it becomes necessary to defined in each hospital a suited organisation depending on the means and relative frequencies of the acute poisonings admitted. The biologist and emergency physician working together have to set up the most appropriate strategies to the best taking charge of patients in acute poisonings. Clinical chemistry analysis may bring deciding in formations instead of toxic substances measurements. Today this quite well documented approach is particularly efficient in clinical chemistry laboratories, which don't have specific toxicological equipment. The aim of this article is to suggest proximity procedures, which have a good cost/benefit ratio.
