What to do for 84 disinfectant poisoning

Under normal circumstances, the management of 84 disinfectant poisoning mainly includes immediately removing the patient from the contaminated environment, prompt emesis and catharsis, maintaining airway patency, appropriate fluid replacement therapy, and symptomatic medication. Specific measures are as follows:

1. Immediately remove from the contaminated environment

84 disinfectant contains chlorine, which can volatilize and irritate mucous membranes, leading to poisoning. The patient should be quickly moved from the contaminated area to a place with fresh, well-ventilated air. Loosen the collar and belt to facilitate easier breathing and reduce continued inhalation of toxic gases, thereby preventing worsening of poisoning symptoms.

2. Prompt emesis and catharsis

If poisoning occurs via ingestion and the patient is conscious, induce vomiting by having them drink large amounts of warm water followed by stimulation of the posterior pharynx (back of the tongue). This helps expel residual toxin from the stomach. Subsequently, administer laxatives as directed by a physician to accelerate elimination of toxins from the intestines and reduce absorption into the bloodstream.

3. Maintain airway patency

Poisoning may cause edema of the respiratory mucosa and increased secretions. Keep the patient in a lateral position with the head turned to one side. Promptly clear oral and nasal secretions to prevent airway obstruction by vomit or mucus, ensuring normal respiratory function.

4. Appropriate fluid replacement therapy

Ingestion or inhalation of 84 disinfectant may lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Under medical supervision, administer intravenous fluids to replenish water and electrolytes, maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, and support organ recovery.

5. Symptomatic use of medications

Select appropriate medications based on symptoms: apply calamine lotion for skin or mucous membrane irritation; use budesonide suspension for nebulization if experiencing respiratory discomfort; take antihistamines such as loratadine hydrochloride capsules or fexofenadine hydrochloride tablets for allergic reactions.

84 disinfectant must be diluted strictly according to instructions and should never be mixed with acidic substances. If poisoning symptoms occur, initiate basic first-aid measures and immediately call 120. When seeking medical care, inform healthcare providers of the cause and extent of exposure to enable accurate and targeted treatment.
