Abstract：
Patients presenting to the ED after using illicit drugs, including novel psychoactive substances, are a unique source of information on substances that are directly causing acute harm in the community. Conventionally, illicit drug intoxications are assessed and managed in EDs based on self-report and presenting symptoms, with no objective data on the causative agent. The Emerging Drugs Network of Australia (EDNA) is a national toxico-surveillance system that provides analytic data on these drugs, from sentinel Emergency Departments. It is a collaborative national network of emergency physicians, toxicologists, forensic laboratories and public health authorities. The key benefit of EDNA is the capacity to provide timely laboratory-confirmed toxicology data on emerging drug-related threats in the community. This leads to improvements in clinical, forensic laboratory and public health harm reduction responses, reflecting rapid translation of the research.
摘要：
患者在使用非法药物后出现在急诊室，包括新的精神活性物质,是直接在社区中造成严重伤害的物质的独特信息来源。传统上,根据自我报告和出现症状，在ED中评估和管理非法药物中毒，没有关于病原体的客观数据。澳大利亚新兴药物网络（EDNA）是一个国家毒物监测系统，提供有关这些药物的分析数据，哨兵急救部门.这是一个由急诊医生组成的全国性协作网络，毒理学家,法医实验室和公共卫生当局。EDNA的主要好处是能够及时提供实验室确认的毒理学数据，以了解社区中与毒品有关的新威胁。这导致临床上的改善，法医实验室和减少公共卫生危害的对策，反映了快速翻译的研究。
