What Treatment Options are Available for Toxic Exposure in the Peritoneal Cavity?
Treatment strategies depend on the type and severity of exposure: - Decontamination: Removing or neutralizing the toxin is the first step. In some cases, this may involve surgical intervention or lavage. - Supportive Care: Patients may require fluids, electrolytes, and medications to manage symptoms and support organ function. - Antidotes: Specific antidotes may be administered if the toxin is known and an effective countermeasure exists.
