Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Acute poisoning of unknown cause generally requires prompt medical treatment at a hospital, including gastric lavage, emesis induction, enema, and laxatives, all of which can effectively alleviate symptoms of acute poisoning. During this period, close monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse is essential. Some poisonings may lead to shock, presenting clinically as decreased blood pressure and increased heart rate. Most importantly, stabilizing vital signs is critical, as is enhancing toxin metabolism and elimination.
