Possibilities of computer analysis of emergency states in acute poisoning

: Computers offer new possibilities for scientifically-based analysis of emergency states in toxicological patients and for improvement of treatment of such patients. Toxicometric assessment of the quantitative effect of toxic compounds using computer programs BMDP, SSP, and SAS with probit analysis, factor, cluster, and other types of analysis is particularly valuable. Such an approach permits a most objective assessment of the toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics of poisons, helps single out the priority trends in research with due consideration for the type of toxin which caused poisoning, changes in clinical laboratory parameters, etc. Computer support may be indispensable during the use of artificial (dialysis sorption) methods of detoxication of the organism.
