What are the Treatments for Syncope Due to Toxic Exposure?
Treatment strategies depend on the specific toxin involved but generally include:
Removal from Exposure: Immediate cessation of contact with the toxic substance. Supportive Care: Ensuring the airway is clear, providing oxygen, and maintaining cardiovascular stability. Specific Antidotes: Administering antidotes if available, such as naloxone for opioid overdose or atropine for organophosphate poisoning. Decontamination: Techniques like activated charcoal or gastric lavage may be used to remove the toxin from the body.
