abstract: We present a map of 24 indicators to measure the quality of care given to patients with acute poisoning attended in the emergency department. These include structural indicators (availability of protocols, stocks of antidotes, analytical tests, gastric lavage tubes), process indicators (correct indication of gut decontamination techniques, indications for renal and extra-renal purification, use of antidotes, indication of toxicological analyses, ECG, delays in care, psychiatric referrals, judicial notifications), indicators of results (mortality, compliance with minimum basic data set of poisonings, continuing staff education) and administrative indicators (publications).
