What are the steps for managing acute poisoning?

Steps for managing acute poisoning include immediately stopping further exposure to the toxin, inducing vomiting, gastric lavage, fluid replacement, and administering antidotes. For individuals exposed by inhalation, immediate removal from the contaminated environment to a well-ventilated area is essential. If the skin or mucous membranes have been exposed, thorough rinsing with water should be performed promptly. In cases of oral ingestion, substances such as milk or egg whites may be given to reduce toxin absorption. For toxins already absorbed into the body, elimination can be promoted through fluid replacement, diuresis, or even blood purification techniques; additionally, specific antidotes are available for certain poisons.
