Lexi-Comp, Inc., a provider of clinical information for healthcare professionals, has released a new handheld software package, Lexi-TOXICOLOGY SUITE's8482;. Designed especially for first responders and emergency personnel, the intuitive mobile application offers quick access to the point-of-care information needed for acute treatment of patients during toxicologic urgencies and emergencies.
Like the web-based version in Lexi-Comp's174; ONLINE's8482;, Lexi-TOXICOLOGY SUITE (http://webstore.lexi.com/Store/Bundled-Software-Packages/Lexi-TOXICOLOGY-SUITE) offers three
categories of monographs covering Agents of Toxicity/Terrorism, Antidotes/Decontaminants, and Household Products. The package includes Lexi-Drugs's174;, Lexi-Interact's8482;,
Lexi-Tox's8482;, Household Products, Lexi-Lab 's38; Diagnostic Procedures's8482;, and Lexi-CALC's8482;. Cross-linking within the databases allows quick access to antidotes/decontaminants,
drug-to-drug interaction analysis, toxicology-specific calculators, and related lab tests, critical values, and test result interpretation.
Elizabeth Tomsik, PharmD, BCPS, Content Manager of the Lexi-Tox development team and head of the Adverse Reactions Group for Lexi-Comp, Inc., understands how important it is to have this
information readily available when every second counts.
Emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and all first responders need a clear, concise, and accurate contemporary toxicology reference to evaluate and manage acute exposures
immediately, Tomsik explains. The ability to now access the information on mobile devices fills that niche and provides the critical toxicology information needed in an efficient and
easy-to-use format.
