title: Decontamination strategies.
abstract: The appropriate use of decontamination techniques may prevent or limit the adverse effects of many toxic substances. No one approach to decontamination is appropriate in all situations. Decontamination procedures should be designed to suit both the individual patient and the circumstances of exposure. Inappropriate use of decontamination procedures may complicate the successful treatment of toxicosis and negatively impact case outcome.
