Treatment For Acute Poisoning
Treatment for acute poisoning is a critical emergency medicine service at Moolchand Hospital, one of the best emergency and critical care hospitals in Delhi. Acute poisoning — from deliberate self-harm, accidental ingestion, occupational exposure, or environmental contamination — encompasses a wide spectrum of toxic syndromes requiring rapid recognition, systematic assessment, and targeted treatment to prevent morbidity and death.
Common toxicological presentations managed at Moolchand Hospital include: organophosphate and carbamate pesticide poisoning (cholinergic toxidrome — SLUDGE syndrome); paracetamol (acetaminophen) overdose; benzodiazepine and opioid overdose; antidepressant (TCA, SSRI) toxicity; alcohol and methanol poisoning; corrosive (acid/alkali) ingestion; heavy metal poisoning (arsenic, lead, mercury); snake envenomation; carbon monoxide poisoning; and medication overdoses (digoxin, antihypertensives, antidiabetics).
At Moolchand Hospital in Lajpat Nagar, the initial resuscitation follows the standard ABCDE approach — airway protection (including endotracheal intubation for reduced consciousness), haemodynamic resuscitation, cardiac monitoring, and seizure control — while a detailed toxicological history, physical examination identifying the toxidrome, and targeted investigations (electrolytes, renal and liver function, blood gas, specific drug levels, ECG) establish the toxic agent and degree of toxicity.
Specific management strategies available at Moolchand Hospital include: gastrointestinal decontamination (activated charcoal within 1 hour of ingestion, whole bowel irrigation for sustained-release preparations and body-packing); antidotal therapy (atropine and pralidoxime for organophosphates, N-acetylcysteine for paracetamol, naloxone for opioids, flumazenil for benzodiazepines, ethanol/fomepizole for methanol, specific antivenoms); enhanced elimination (multi-dose activated charcoal, urinary alkalinisation for salicylate poisoning, haemodialysis for methanol, salicylates, lithium, and toxic alcohols); and intensive organ support including mechanical ventilation and vasopressors.
Psychiatric evaluation and social work assessment are integrated into the management of deliberate self-poisoning at Moolchand Hospital.
