Summary:A database on individual cases of acute poisonings has been established at the Clinic of Acute Poisonings, Institute of Occupational Medicine. About 3,000 patients yearly are admitted to the Clinic and the mean period of stay is 3-4 days. On the basis of the RDBMS Professional Oracle a method has been designed to prepare, update and select data about the Clinic's patients. The system has been established with a view of developing research on diagnostics and treatment of acute poisonings. Previously, such a study was highly time and effort consuming. Moreover the retrospective material was often inadequate for a detailed analysis. Now, the computer storage of data, makes their utilization more effective and efficient.
