Abstract

The Swedish Poisons Information Centre, a nationwide 24/7 service to healthcare providers and the public, answers many questions about serious cases of acute poisoning.

However, rapid access to toxicological analysis for the most common set of poisoning agents varies between hospitals and laboratories. A priority list of toxic agents for which improved analytical techniques could offer a more widespread availability and rapid access to clinically important test results is... (More)
