Atropine poisoning after drinking Indian tonic water.

Poisoning is one of the most common reasons for acute medical admission to hospital in the UK. However, certain poisons are rarely implicated. Two unusual cases involving poisoning with atropine are presented. The clinical features were classical, but the way in which the patients became poisoned by drinking contaminated Indian tonic water was most unusual.

Inhalational anaesthesia in emergency medicine using a new volatile--sevoflurane.

Two cases are described in which an inhalation anaesthetic was performed in order to secure an airway in patients with upper airway compromise. The agent used, sevoflurane, is relatively new and its properties are described. This is an important technique in which accident and emergency staff should obtain the appropriate supervised training.
