Buckley on Paracetamol: More Than Meets The Eye
Clinical Toxicologist Nicholas Buckley is one of the biggest brains in the business. In his talk at SMACC he showed us how much there is to know about something so seemingly simple in ‘Paracetamol: More than meets the Eye’. This is a really great talk — enjoy!

Buckley’s analysis of liver transplantation in paracetamol hepatotoxicity particularly fascinates me, to the extent that I wrote a detailed CCC entry on Liver Transplantation for Paracetamol Toxicity. and presented it as part of my talk on ‘Toxicological Myths and Half-Truths’ at the CICM ASM in Wellington this year.
Other useful LITFL links include:

- Toxicology Conundrum 001 — Paracetamol… Too much, too often?
- Toxicology Conundrum 051 — Paracetamol-induced hepatotoxicity
Oh, and be sure you know the Australasian guidelines, Buckley’s talk goes well beyond this:
