How is supportive care provided in toxicological emergencies?
Supportive care is a vital component of managing toxicological emergencies and focuses on maintaining the patient's physiological functions. This includes ensuring adequate airway management, breathing, and circulation, as well as monitoring vital signs. Supportive care may also involve intravenous fluids, medications to control symptoms (e.g., seizures or arrhythmias), and advanced life support measures in severe cases.
