John PY - 2017 T2 - Tintinalli's Emergency Medicine Manual, 8e AB - There are over 50,000 hazardous chemicals used in various industrial processes throughout the United States. Exposures are inevitable and the emergency physician must be prepared to appropriately care for these patients. Material Safety Data Sheets, regional poison control centers and medical toxicologists are valuable resources for information on specific hazards, optimal management, and patient disposition. Children and pregnant women are patient populations who require special attention, the former due to differences in respiratory, dermatologic, and gastrointestinal physiology and the latter requiring a focus on maternal care in order to optimize fetal well-being.
