How does supportive care integrate into rescue therapy?
Supportive care is an essential component of rescue therapy, focusing on maintaining the patient's vital functions and managing symptoms. It includes measures such as airway protection, oxygen supplementation, fluid resuscitation, and hemodynamic monitoring. In cases where specific antidotes or decontamination methods are not applicable, supportive care becomes the cornerstone of treatment, helping the patient recover while the toxin is metabolized and eliminated by the body.
