The safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetic parameters of 5 g of hydroxocobalamin given intravenously, alone or in combination with 12.5 g of sodium thiosulfate, were evaluated in healthy adult men who were heavy smokers. Sodium thiosulfate caused nausea, vomiting, and localized burning, muscle
Since transdermal scopolamine (TS) seems effective against seasickness, we compared its antiemetic effect with intravenous droperidol (DHBP), our routine antidote for postoperative emesis. Ninety-six female patients (ASA I-II) scheduled for short-stay surgery were randomly allocated to three study
BACKGROUND
Nausea and vomiting associated with poisoning can complicate treatment and in some cases delay potential antidote administration. Side effect such as lowering the seizure threshold may at times discourage the use of traditional phenothiazine and butyrophenone antiemetics.
METHODS
We
Use-result surveillance was conducted to investigate the safety and efficacy of Acetylcysteine Oral Solution 17.6 % "SENJU" having the indication for the antidote to acetaminophen (Paracetamol) overdose. Ninety six cases (patients) were collected for the safety evaluation, and 13 cases (incidence
In acute poisoning the maintenance or reconstitution of vital functions is the first and most critical action. All subsequent therapies and the prognosis depend on the identification of the causative agent and on information about substance-specific toxicity. Despite incomplete evidence the concept
Although the cannabinoids are effective antidotes to the nausea and vomiting produced by cancer chemotherapy, they also have other properties that may be of therapeutic value. These should be explored. The possibility of interactions, both useful and harmful, between the anticancer drugs and other
BACKGROUND
Poison centers (PCs) frequently manage patients with antimuscarinic delirium. However, controversy surrounds the antidotal use of physostigmine for its treatment. The aim of this study was to prospectively investigate physostigmine versus non-antidote therapy for the management of
More than 90% of all fatal mushroom poisonings worldwide are due to amatoxin containing species that grow abundantly in Europe, South Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. Many cases have also been reported in North America. Initial symptoms of abdominal cramps, vomiting, and a severe cholera-like
OBJECTIVE
To compare the management of acute paracetamol poisoning with the best evidence available, and to determine the effect of plasma paracetamol level estimation on the management.
METHODS
Descriptive study with an intervention.
METHODS
Medical wards of the National Hospital of Sri Lanka,
BACKGROUND
Dicobalt edetate is one of a number of cobalt compounds that have been studied in the treatment of cyanide poisoning, their efficacy being based upon the fact that cyanide combines with cobalt to form relatively non-toxic complexes. Inorganic cobalt salts are quite toxic (cyanide and
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical characteristics of acute arsenic poisoning and its influential factors.
METHODS
Clinical data of 47 cases of arsenic poisoning were collected and analyzed. Two cases of observation, 40 cases of mild acute poisoning, and 5 severe acute poisoning were investigated
A 50-year-old man swallowed 200 ml of an insecticide containing the organophosphates dimethoate and phenitrotion in an attempted suicide. On admission, signs of a cholinergic syndrome were observed: miosis, rhinorrhoea, and fasciculations. This was followed by bradycardia with hypotension and
We describe a 26-year-old female patient, who had attempted suicide with Endosulfan, and who presented to the Emergency Department with status epilepticus. She subsequently developed hypotension refractory to inotropes, intravascular hemolysis, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), metabolic
Sodium dichromate ingestion in children is uncommon and potentially lethal. The most appropriate management is uncertain because of the lack of sound data contained in the few reports of successfully treated patients. Immediate treatment should include urgent induction of emesis, administration of
Digitalis glycosides are among the oldest drugs used in cardiology. Nowadays, due to the limited indications for their use (advanced heart failure, usually concomitant with atrial fibrillation), cases of poisoning induced by this class of drugs are rarely observed. Digoxin produces a positive
