Abstract

The integration of forensic toxicology into clinical laboratory protocols proved crucial in improving emergency response, as it examined the harmful effects of chemical substances and their interaction with the body. Identifying the causative agent of poisoning was complicated by non-specific symptoms and the emergence of new psychoactive substances. These substances, designed to mimic the effects of drugs of abuse, were regulated internationally.According to Alza and Hancco, the use of illicit substances such as marijuana and cocaine was common in cases of domestic violence in Peru. Ponce Renata reported an increase in the use of these substances and alcohol in crimes in Riobamba, Ecuador.For a rapid and reliable response in emergencies, toxicological studies were needed to identify the causative agents and to collaborate with health workers. The timely availability of tests was limited, so this study was essential to establish cause-effect relationships and improve response protocols and the recognition and handling of toxic substances
