Acute Poisoning Management

Acute poisoning management involves quickly assessing and treating someone who has ingested, inhaled, or come into contact with harmful substances. First responders check vital signs and stabilize the patient. If safe, they might induce vomiting or use activated charcoal to absorb toxins. Antidotes specific to certain poisons may be administered. Supportive care, like intravenous fluids, may be provided to stabilize the patient. It's crucial to identify the poison involved for effective treatment. Prompt medical attention is vital, as some toxins can cause serious harm or be life-threatening. Always call emergency services in case of suspected poisoning.
