Successful management of the poisoned patient involves enacting a specific approach to the patient - from history-taking to patient stabilisation and everything in-between, including how to remove the toxin, how and when to use antidotes and much more! This week we will outline a straight-forward approach to the poisoned patient that will help ensure your patients have the BEST chance of surviving!
Many toxins cause seizures - including many insecticides, fungi and bacteria, illicit drugs, and even chocolate and caffeine, among many others. This week you will learn how to manage these toxins - including seizure control, fluid therapy, decontamination, antidote administration and patient monitoring and care. There will be SOPs for meany of the toxins we discuss for you to use in practice, along with helpful tips to give you the upper hand in the management of these challenging patients.
This week is devoted to the toxins that don’t cause seizures - but that do cause significant illness in our patients. This week, you will journey through a host of toxins, such as paracetamol, rat baits, lead, cleaning products, and plant toxins such as lilies and cycads and even things such as essential oils - all of which can cause significant toxicity and death in exposed patients! You will learn what to do, the best advice to give clients, and how to manage these toxicity patients effectively!
The world is full of toxic or deadly venomous animals - many of which our patients come into contact with - from venomous snakes, to toxic toads, and a lot in-between.
