The functions of pharmacists in a clinical toxicology consultation service are described. Pharmacists provided three basic services in conjunction with poisonings treated by the emergency department of a children's hospital: (1) assisted with obtaining the history and assessment of the toxicologic proglems, (2) recommended a plan for rational management, and (3) discussed poison prevention with the parents of the victims. Pharmacists were consulted for 189 poisoning cases over a six-month period; 80% of the cases were attended at the bedside and the remainder were monitored by telephone. Drugs were involved in 58% of the patient exposures. Median time for the pharmacist to reach the emergency room after the patient's arrival was 5 to 10 minutes. Physicians and nurses rated the pharmacists' contributions favorably. These results suggest that pharmacists can play an important role in clinical toxicology.
描述了药剂师在临床毒理学咨询服务中的作用。药剂师结合一家儿童医院急诊科治疗的中毒病例提供三项基本服务：（1）协助获取中毒问题的病史和评估，（2）推荐合理管理方案，（3）与中毒患者的家长讨论预防中毒问题。在六个月的时间里，药剂师就189例中毒病例提供了咨询；80%的病例是在床边提供服务，其余的通过电话进行监测。58%的患者接触过药物。患者到达后药剂师到达急诊室的中位时间为5至10分钟。医生和护士对药剂师的贡献给予了好评。这些结果表明，药剂师在临床毒理学中可以发挥重要作用。
