Initial Management of a Poisoned Patient
As with any severely ill patient, the initial step is to stabilize the patient's respiration, circulation, and airway. By identifying the toxin, either by laboratory testing, toxidrome, or history, the doctors may be led in the appropriate direction. In situations where the precise poisoning agent is known, antidotes can be applied.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
