The treatment of toxic exposures generally involves several key steps:
Decontamination - Removing or neutralizing the toxin from the body or contact area. Supportive Care - Managing symptoms and stabilizing the patient’s vital signs. Antidotes - Administering specific antidotes if available and applicable. Enhanced Elimination - Techniques like hemodialysis to accelerate the removal of toxins. Follow-up Care - Monitoring and supporting the patient’s recovery over time.
