What are the Challenges in Treating NPS Poisoning?
Treating NPS poisoning is complicated by several factors. First, the sheer variety of NPS makes it difficult to predict their effects and interactions with other substances. Second, there is often a lack of antidotes or specific treatment protocols for these substances. Finally, the rapid onset of severe symptoms necessitates prompt and effective medical intervention. Supportive care, including intravenous fluids, benzodiazepines for agitation, and cardiovascular support, is often the mainstay of treatment.
