Can blood pressure changes be used to identify specific toxins?
While blood pressure changes can provide clues about the type of toxin involved, they are not always specific enough to identify a particular substance. However, in conjunction with other clinical signs, patient history, and laboratory tests, blood pressure readings can help narrow down the list of potential toxins. For example, a patient presenting with hypertension, tachycardia, and dilated pupils may suggest stimulant exposure.
