Introduction
In cases of carbon monoxide poisoning, the patient should first be moved to a well-ventilated area. Open the doors and windows of the room to allow air circulation, unbutton the patient's collar, and examine and assist in clearing any vomit. If necessary, administer artificial respiration immediately. After being transferred to a hospital, the patient should receive oxygen therapy via tracheal intubation, inhalation of pure oxygen, and mechanical ventilation. For patients with moderate poisoning, dehydration therapy may be required.
For coal gas poisoning, immediately remove the patient from the toxic environment and move them to a well-ventilated area. Open the doors and windows of the room to ensure air circulation. The specific procedures are as follows:
1. Immediately move the patient to a well-ventilated area and open the doors and windows of the room to improve air circulation.
2. Unbutton the patient's collar, examine them, and assist in clearing any vomit.
3. If the poisoned person has weak breathing or has stopped breathing, immediately perform artificial respiration and call emergency services for urgent medical treatment.
4. After hospitalization, the patient should receive oxygen via tracheal intubation, inhalation of pure oxygen, and mechanical ventilation. For patients with moderate poisoning, dehydration therapy is necessary, along with medications that promote brain cell metabolism. Actively correct hypoxia symptoms and enhance patient care to prevent complications.
