In order to propose the establishment of 1.20 "First Aid Day" to improve the public's awareness of first aid, today we introduce the knowledge of first aid to you.
Yesterday, the little girl who was poisoned with paraquat by her brother-in-law was discharged from the hospital and was ready to go to Wuxi for rehabilitation treatment, in fact, pesticide poisoning also belongs to one of the categories of drug poisoning.
Drug poisoning is very scary and can often be life-threatening if not found in time. Therefore, once drug poisoning is found, it is necessary to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
Zhang Zhang, director of the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Second People's Hospital of Hunan Province, introduced that there are many causes of drug poisoning, and the symptoms are also diverse, and the fundamental way is to eliminate the cause, delay the absorption of drugs, and accelerate the excretion of drugs.
Therefore, once drug poisoning is found, the family should figure out the name and quantity of the poisoned drug in time, which is conducive to the doctor to judge the degree of harm of drug poisoning to various organs of the human body, so as to formulate an individualized rescue plan and improve the prognosis.
Many patients with drug poisoning are sent to the hospital, the doctor will wash their stomach for the first time, the toxins that have been absorbed into the blood, the doctor will recommend blood purification treatment, that is, the use of dialysis equipment next to the bed to detoxify the patient's toxic blood.

How does blood purification treat drug poisoning?
1. Directly remove the absorbed drugs, lead the blood out of the body, and adsorb the drugs inside through the adsorbent in the blood perfusion device;
2. Through blood filtration, mainly the components in the filtrate are similar to the normal human blood components, and the toxins or metabolic acidosis, high potassium and so on in the body are exchanged when passing through the body.

Some special drug poisoning to use a large number of detoxification drugs to antagonize, such as organophosphorus poisoning, can be treated with atropine, antiphosphodine and other drugs; opioid drug poisoning, can be treated with naloxone and other drugs.
However, drug poisoning treatment often brings some complications, because the harm caused by some drugs to the human body is often irreversible, even if detoxified, it may affect physical and mental health for life. Therefore, the patient's family must cooperate with the medical staff to jointly do a good job in the patient's psychological counseling.
Although modern medical technology is very developed, some drug poisoning also makes doctors helpless, and eventually people and money are empty, so remind everyone that in addition to managing the money bag, it is also necessary to manage the medicine bag.
