Prof Graudins and Dr Cooper

Monash emergency and toxicology were represented at the American College of Medical Toxicology Scientific Meeting at Huntington Beach, California last week.

Two recent Monash Emergency Medicine Trainees participated at the meeting presenting their toxicology research projects supervised by Professor Andis Graudins.

Dr Gone and Prof Graudins

Dr Isabelle Cooper presented her pharmacokinetic study on the bioavailability of intranasally administered droperidol. This research will help guide clinical trials using this route of administration for conditions such as nausea, vomiting and migraine in the ED.

And Dr Santosh Gone presented a case of intentional severe poisoning with pentobarbital with documented serum drug concentrations.
