    AbstractExposures to toxins are prevalent, frequently complicate surgical emergencies, and impact critical care. A fundamental understanding of pathophysiologic principles and management strategies is essential for the anesthesiologist frequently responsible for the acute care of patients who have toxicologic exposures. Given their pervasiveness and ability to confound the clinical presentations in the perioperative or intensive care setting, substances of abuse and asphyxiants warrant particular attention and a high degree of vigilance.
