What are the Treatment Options for Toxic-Induced Seizures?
Treatment strategies for seizures caused by toxic exposure focus on both symptomatic management and addressing the underlying cause:
- Benzodiazepines: These are first-line treatments for acute seizure management due to their ability to enhance GABAergic inhibition. - Antidotes: Specific antidotes may be administered in cases of identified poisonings, such as atropine for organophosphate poisoning. - Supportive Care: Stabilizing the patient, ensuring airway protection, and monitoring vital signs.
