TY - JOUR PY - 1977// TI - Poisoning by cresol JO - Anaesthesia A1 - Arthurs, G. J. A1 - Wise, C. C. A1 - Coles, G. A. SP - 642 EP - 643 VL - 32 IS - 7 N2 - A man aged 32 years who was poisoned with cresol is reported. It is suggested that in the absence of evidence about haemoperfusion over charcoal, forced diuresis is the only effective means of removing cresols from the body. Artifical ventilation controls early respiratory failure, but the patient remains at risk from toxic damage to the myocardium and lungs.
