How are blood pressure abnormalities treated in toxicology cases?
The treatment of blood pressure abnormalities in toxicology cases depends on the underlying cause. General approaches include: - Removing or minimizing exposure to the toxic agent. - Administering antidotes specific to the toxin, such as naloxone for opioid-induced hypotension. - Supporting cardiovascular function with fluids, vasopressors, or antihypertensive agents as needed. - Monitoring for complications and addressing them promptly to prevent further harm.
