What are the Implications for Treatment and Management?
The management of poisoning involves careful consideration of the vomiting center's role. Treatment protocols often depend on the type of toxin, the amount ingested, and the time elapsed since exposure. In some scenarios, gastric lavage or activated charcoal may be used instead of inducing vomiting. Antiemetic medications, such as ondansetron, may be given to control severe nausea and vomiting, ensuring patient stability during other detoxification processes.
