Organophosphorus, Acid & Alcohol Poisoning
Organophosphorus, acid, and alcohol poisonings present distinct challenges in medical management. Organophosphorus poisoning, often due to insecticides, requires prompt administration of atropine and pralidoxime to counteract cholinergic toxicity. Acid poisoning necessitates timely neutralization and meticulous airway management to prevent complications like aspiration pneumonia. Alcohol poisoning, marked by central nervous system depression, demands supportive care, including airway protection and fluid resuscitation, while addressing potential co-ingestions. Individualized treatment plans, close monitoring, and collaboration across medical specialties are crucial for optimizing outcomes in cases of these diverse poisonings.

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.
