Abstract
One of the fundamental complications within toxicology is that patients may not know or disclose what they have been poisoned with. Consequently, a sound and considered general approach to identify potential harms and plan clinical management is necessary. This chapter aims to guide the reader through the initial approach and general principles to consider when managing a poisoned patient.
