What are the Treatment Options for Endotoxin Exposure?
Treating endotoxin exposure primarily focuses on managing the symptoms and preventing complications. This may involve the use of anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce cytokine production, antibiotics to eliminate the bacterial source, and supportive care such as intravenous fluids and vasopressors to maintain blood pressure. In severe cases, advanced therapies like extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) may be required.
