N2  - Poisonings and overdose continue to be major medical problems, often requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission and resource utilization. Annually, approximately 8 million people are poisoned intentionally or unintentionally (600,000 attempt suicide), accounting for 11,894 deaths and 218,500 hospitalizations (1). Poisoning is one of the most common causes of nontraumatic coma in patients younger than age 35 years. Deliberate self-poisoning is the commonest form of poisoning in adults and accounts for 95% of all poisoning admissions to hospital (2).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
