Abstract

In the course of one year 357 patients were treated in our department for poisoning, nearly always with suicidal intent. Altogether 249 patients were admitted to the wards for 24 hours or longer, and 108 of these (44.6%) were taken into the intensive care unit. Apart from myocardial infarction (276 patients/year), poisoning is the most common reason for admission to the intensive care unit. The age distribution showed a maximum between 15 and 20 years. Only one case proved fatal, representing a mortality rate of 0.3%.
