First aid and treatment for poisoning with salts of heavy metals

Salt poisoning is quite common nowadays. There are many reasons for poisoning: these are accidents at work, and everyday accidents, and suicides. Often the cause is non-compliance with safety regulations, storage of poisonous salts along with food.

Poisoning can manifest itself in different ways, depending on what kind of salt has got into the body, how much it has, how long it has an effect on the body, and even how it has penetrated. A common feature of all poisonings is a pronounced local reaction, which manifests itself in the form of burns and necrosis of tissues, as well as severe intoxication. If ingested, a burning of the esophagus occurs, a violation of the digestive function. In case of external influence, the skin is damaged. The degree of damage depends on the area and depth of salt penetration.

Intoxication manifests itself as a deterioration of health, a sharp headache, pressure and pain in the sternum and heart. Appears nausea, vomiting, it becomes difficult for a person to breathe. The chair can be broken: more often there is a strong diarrhea. Vomiting can be debilitating, prolonged. Especially when poisoning with potent salts, which affect the digestive tract, damage the mucous membrane. Vomiting can be accompanied by impurities of blood.

If the salt does not act in a timely manner, bleeding may occur. If untimely first aid is given, a pain or toxic shock can develop. The main symptoms of shock are loss of consciousness, violation of respiratory function and heart activity. A characteristic feature is the absence of a pupil's reaction to light. Damaged tissues are necrotic, nervous or convulsive seizures, tremors or paralysis of smooth muscles can develop.

First and foremost, you need to provide first aid to the victim, neutralize the effect of salts that have got into the body, bring them out. If you get salt inside, you need to induce vomiting. Thus it is not necessary to give to drink water as it promotes acid dissolution and accelerates its absorption through walls of an intestine in a blood, accordingly, poisoning action of salt only amplifies. If you know exactly what salt caused the poisoning, and there is an antidote, it must be introduced immediately. It is necessary to call an ambulance and be sure to warn the dispatcher that there was a poisoning with salt, if possible, to name which one. Then you need to provide a person with fresh air. It is necessary to remove everything that can impede breathing, to unbutton the upper buttons, the belt. It is important to provide the patient with peace before the arrival of an ambulance.

In hospital conditions, the stomach is washed. It is carried out with preliminary premedication (anesthesia, anesthesia, antispasmodics). Washing is carried out with a special probe until the appearance of pure water. To ensure forced diuresis and alkalization of the blood, use pieces of ice, as well as various medications. This makes it possible to neutralize the action of poisons that have already penetrated the blood. Anesthetics are used painkillers and narcotics, in case of bleeding, a cold is applied to the stomach area. If necessary, blood transfusion is performed.

Only after stabilization of basic vital signs, it is necessary to start further treatment. First, supportive treatment is carried out, then proceed to a restorative treatment. At the same time, symptomatic treatment aimed at eliminating the main symptoms is applied. For example, with the onset of pain syndrome, treatment with analgesic, antispasmodics can be used.

With pronounced edema, hyperemia, inflammation, antihistamines, decongestants, anti-inflammatory drugs, and other drugs are used. In the recovery phase, hemostatic, wound-healing remedies may be required, especially if mucosal lesions are observed, chemical burns.

When supporting maintenance is carried out, infusion therapy is almost always performed, which makes it possible to fill the deficiency of fluid and ions that has occurred as a result of the action of toxic substances. To do this, a large number of supporting substances are poured in, for example, glucose, physiological saline, Ringer's solution. They provide the dilution of blood, which during poisoning thickens. In parallel, neutralizing therapy, hemodialysis is carried out. These procedures are aimed at removing from the blood of toxic substances and decay products that have formed during the period of inflammation.

Restorative therapy is used after stabilization of the state, normalization of the main processes. Various means are used to eliminate the effects of poisoning. Usually, complex treatment is used, which includes medication, physiotherapy procedures. Apply homeopathic, alternative means, herbs, vitamin therapy. A prerequisite is to follow a diet. Diet No. 1a is prescribed, which must be observed for several months. Be sure to drink plenty of water.

Failure to follow the basic precautions can result in death.

To treat the effects of intoxication and eliminate toxins from the body, use activated carbon. It acts as a sorbent, collecting toxic substances. Subsequently, they are neutralized and removed from the body. Take 5-6 tablets every 3-4 hours in the first day, after which the number of receptions is reduced to three times a day.

With pronounced protein deficiency, which develops as a consequence of severe intoxication, intravenous plasma injection is shown at 100-200 ml - 5-6 times per course. Also, protein hydrolysers (aminocrovin, aminopeptide, casein hydrolyzate) of 0.5-1 liters are used.

 With a strong inflammatory process, the use of anabolic steroids - methandrostenolone or nerobol 0,005 g twice daily in combination with prednisone is indicated.

Salt solution for poisoning

When poisoning for first aid use a solution of salt. You can use ordinary kitchen salt, but it is better to use sea salt.

With the help of a concentrated salt solution, you can induce vomiting, which helps to remove the poison from the body. To prepare the solution, take 1-2 teaspoons of salt on a glass of warm water, stir thoroughly until the salt dissolves completely, drink the whole glass at a time.

Vodka with salt for poisoning

Vodka promotes the removal of inflammation, normalization of the intestinal microflora. In the presence of pathogenic microorganisms, kills them, contributing to excretion from the body. This helps to prevent the development of the infectious process. Vodka also contributes to the regeneration of damaged tissues.

 Salt, in turn, contributes to the restoration of water-salt balance, preserves all processes, preventing further progression of the inflammatory process, prevents the negative effects of toxins, and neutralizes the action of the poison, promoting active excretion from the body.

For the preparation of such a product, it is recommended to take about a quarter of a teaspoon of salt, pour about a third or half a glass of vodka, mix thoroughly, drink in one gulp. A little salt usually remains, since completely it does not dissolve in vodka. Then pour as many more vodka, and after about 5 minutes drink again. After about 5 minutes, repeat the procedure for the third time. Usually, the first or second glass causes nausea and vomiting, as a result of which toxins are released to the outside, the third precipitates the inflammatory process, stops the reverse peristalsis, as a result of which the nausea leaves and normalizes the microflora, which is disturbed after vomiting.

Water with salt during poisoning

An aqueous solution of salt can be used in the recovery period to stabilize the state, normalize the water-salt balance. It is used for prolonged painful vomiting or diarrhea to restore salt and mineral metabolism, since in this state there is an intensive removal of salts from the body. To prepare the solution, take about a third of a teaspoon of edible salt per 500 ml of warm water, mix thoroughly, drink during the day.

To prepare the solution, take about a third of a teaspoon of salt and soda and a teaspoon of sugar in a glass of warm water, mix thoroughly, drink a third of the glass. For a day you need to drink the whole solution.

Chacha with salt during poisoning

The mechanism of action is similar to that of vodka and salt. Only the action of Chacha is much stronger, and therefore the dosage is required less. It is enough to drink 1-2 glasses for the normalization of the condition. Salt acts as a sorbent: attracts, binds and takes out toxins. Chacha normalizes the microflora and prevents the development of inflammation, eliminates nausea, discomfort. For cooking, take about a third of a teaspoon of salt in half a glass of Chacha. Drink 1-2 glasses.
