Poisoning
Session Overview
Description
This session deals with management of poisonings, initially reviewing acute poisonings as a whole and general measures in managing them, before looking at some important examples of poisonings and their specific management.
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- Recognise important clinical signs and symptoms in different types of poisonings
- Explain the role of blood tests in poison cases
- Start the initial management in all types of overdoses
- Manage salicylate, paracetamol, tricyclic antidepressant and gamma-hydroxybutyrate poisoning
A significant number of patients are admitted to medical admissions units with overdoses. Commonly, overdoses are suicidal or accidental. The mortality for such hospitalised patients is around 1-2%.
The initial approach to these patients involves recognising:
- What type of poisoning has occurred
- The severity of the poisoning
