The poisoning of acetone by a child and an adult

Acetone poisoning is a serious intoxication process that develops as a result of ingestion of acetone. It requires emergency care for a person, otherwise it can end in a fatal outcome.

Epidemiology

Approximately 65% of all poisoning occurs in industrial production and is considered as occupational poisoning. Approximately 90% of cases of employees of enterprises that work with acetone, a chronic poisoning is detected. Acute poisoning develops only in 10% of cases. This is most often emergency situations in which there is a leak of acetone, or its excessive entry into the air.

Often poisoning occurs with disturbed ventilation, while working for a long time in an unventilated room. In chronic poisoning, a long-lasting poisoning develops, in which the body is exposed to acetone for a long time, but in small concentrations. When acute poisoning on the body affects immediately a large concentration of acetone.

Of all cases of industrial poisoning, the share of poisonings due to the fault of the employee (irresponsible attitude to the poisonous substance, non-compliance with safety requirements, non-compliance with equipment operation and principles of working with reagents) account for approximately 50% of cases. The remaining 50% fall on faulty equipment, lack of ventilation, exhaust, violation of the rules of safe construction and construction of the building, laboratory, work shop.

On the second place on frequency of poisonings there are various hairdressing salons, beauty salons, studios where work with various paints, varnishes, covers for nails is conducted. Particularly affected people who are engaged in nail extensions, cover with gel-varnish. The poisoning in this way accounts for about 18% of all poisoning.

On the third place - poisoning in the personal part-time farm, in everyday life, with various ways of contact with acetone, solvents, during repair, paintwork, whitewashing and painting, painting, restoration work.

There are also cases when poisoning occurred accidentally (by negligence), or intentionally, with the aim of committing suicide. Often children are poisoned if acetone is left unattended.

Causes of the poisoning with acetone

The cause of poisoning is one - the ingress of acetone into the human body. This can be a liquid through the digestive organs, or inhaling the vapors of acetone. Poisoning can be acute, in which a large amount of acetone has once been ingested. Chronic poisoning is a process in which a person is gradually poisoned with acetone for a long time. In this case, acetone enters the body gradually, in small portions, and slowly, but regularly, systematically has a toxic effect.

[7], [8], [9], [10]

Risk factors

In the risk group, in the first place, people who by virtue of professional duties, deal with acetone, or with its derivatives, fall. First of all, it is people who work in factories, face different paints, solvents, liquids, coatings and varnishes.

Also, people who work as hairdressers, stylists, make-up artists suffer significantly. It can be masters of manicure, pedicure, which work with professional nail coating, nail and eyelash extensions. People who simply have impaired liver, kidney function are at risk, because acetone is a by-product of processing many components, in particular, fats. With insufficient kidney and liver function, acetone is formed in the blood, which then recirculates in the body, causing the development of poisoning.

[11], [12], [13]

Pathogenesis

At the heart of the pathogenesis of poisoning is the disruption of the normal functioning of the liver and kidneys. The poison penetrates into the blood, circulates in the blood, then its connection with the red blood cells occurs. Gradually, the erythrocyte is destroyed, and the amount of hemoglobin decreases. There is also a sharp disruption of the normal ratio between the number of erythrocytes and the amount of hemoglobin (the so-called hematocrit). This contributes to the violation of the basic functions and composition of the blood, contributes to increased viscosity (blood thickening).

Accordingly, its properties change. Violated water-salt and acid-base balance. All this leads to a further deterioration in the state, a violation of the correlation between the basic formed elements of the blood. With chronic poisoning, these disorders become relatively stable. It is also worth noting that the function of the main organs and systems, in particular, the cardiovascular, circulatory, liver and kidneys, is also disrupted in the future.

The danger of this condition is that a serious disturbance of the water-salt balance can develop, which entails severe dehydration, intoxication of the body, impaired renal and hepatic function. It should be noted that the most serious condition is a violation of the functional state of the kidneys, in particular the development of renal failure, which is accompanied by severe swelling, the development of inflammatory, infectious and intoxicating processes, and can result in a coma

The effect of acetone on the human body

Acetone causes poisoning in the body, which develops according to the basic laws of typical intoxication. First there is a violation of the composition and function of the blood, the blood becomes alkaline, the hematocrit is broken, the erythrocytes are destroyed. This can lead to the development of anemia, and other processes.

At the second stage there is a violation of the normal ratio of the main biologically active substances, the pH of the blood is disturbed, the normal functioning of the circulatory system is disrupted, homeostasis is disrupted. All the processes in the body are changing, the strongest dehydration develops against the background of intoxication. Toxins are intensively neutralized by the liver, the load on it increases accordingly, active involvement of reserve substances, hepatocytes in the detoxification and inflammatory process takes place. This leads to inflammation of the liver.

Gradually, toxins accumulate in the liver, are carried throughout the body, fall into various tissues. Kidney damage is also noted, in particular, the process of renal infiltration is disrupted, inflammatory processes such as renal glomerulonephritis, nephritis, pyelonephritis develop. If acetone continues to affect the body, further impairment of kidney function, including renal failure, is accompanied by swelling, a violation of the normal cleansing of the body of metabolites. All this leads to the fact that a person can lose his kidneys, and fall into a heavy coma. Often, poisoning with acetone is accompanied by a fatal outcome.

[14], [15], [16], [17]

Symptoms of the poisoning with acetone

Poisoning manifests itself in the form of dyspnea, attacks of suffocation, general deterioration of well-being, weakness. Gradually, there is an increase in temperature, or a violation of the normal state of the cardiovascular system, including a violation of vascular tone. Often observed hypotension (lower blood pressure), as well as hypertension (increased blood pressure). All this leads to the development of dyspeptic syndrome, spasm, headache, dizziness. The condition is accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, a violation of appetite. Often a person becomes covered with a cold sweat, a chill occurs, which alternates with a fever. There is also a tremor, convulsions. When poisoning can be felt pain in the head, neck, stomach pain, indigestion. There is also an increase in the liver and spleen, a violation of the functional state of the liver. Skin can acquire a yellowish shade.

First signs

As soon as acetone begins to poisonously affect the body, dyspnea develops, chest pain, rapid heartbeat, increased heart rate may occur. All this indicates that acetone has penetrated into the blood, and there is a poisoning effect of acetone on the body, the production of antibodies occurs. The destruction of erythrocytes can lead to the fact that there is a violation of hematocrit (the ratio of erythrocytes and hemoglobin), this leads to a change in the viscosity of the blood, which is reflected in the form of a cyanotic skin tone, and also in the form of black circles under the eyes.

[18]

Acetone vapor poisoning

Occurs when inhaled a large amount of pure acetone, or a solvent. The path of penetration into the body is air-borne, that is, the vapors enter the body when inhaled, and the respiratory system suffers primarily from this. The burn of respiratory tracts, mucous membranes develops. All this is accompanied by a violation of the normal passage of air, swelling of the bronchi and lungs, attacks of suffocation. It is also worth noting that acetone can cause a strong allergic reaction, the essence of which is reduced, first of all, to the narrowing of the lumen of the lungs. There may develop seizures that resemble asthma attacks.

The first thing to do when the first signs of acetone poisoning appear is to call for an ambulance, since neutralization of the poison is required. If nausea is felt, you should induce vomiting. Also, before the arrival of an ambulance, it is recommended to drink activated charcoal, or any other sorbent that will absorb the poison and take it out. In this case, it is necessary to provide the victim with an abundant drink. And, of course, you need to stop the effect of poison on the body. You should take the patient to fresh air, open all doors and windows, if the person is in the room. In case of loss of consciousness, it is necessary to give smell of ammonia, which will lead a person into consciousness.

[19], [20], [21]

Acetone poisoning in diabetes mellitus

In diabetes, poisoning can develop not only as a result of acetone entering the blood, or inhaling a large number of acetone vapor, but also as a result of disruption of the normal functioning of metabolic processes. It is worth noting that in diabetes mellitus, hormonal regulation of the body, in particular, the function of the adrenal glands, is disturbed.

Violated metabolic processes, the synthesis of major hormones. There is also a violation of liver function, incomplete processing of metabolic products, incomplete processing products accumulate in the blood, transported by blood, enter organs and tissues, cause intoxication processes. Acetone is one such product that can accumulate in the body when the adrenal, kidney, and liver function is disrupted.

[22], [23], [24], [25], [26]

Poisoning with liquid to remove varnish

Any liquid for removing varnish in its composition contains acetone. Therefore, when inhaling vapors, poisoning may occur. In connection with the increase in cases of poisoning with liquid for the removal of lacquer, now began to produce a liquid that does not contain acetone in its composition. Poet poisoning, acetone significantly spoils the nails.

Poisoning is accompanied by signs of intoxication, cyanosis, disorders of the circulatory, cardiovascular, digestive system. There may be nausea, vomiting. Due to the fact that the liquid contains additional flavors and dyes, allergic reactions can also develop, starting from the lungs, such as irritation, redness, skin rash, diathesis, dermatitis. The most severe manifestation of an allergic reaction is anaphylactic shock, which is often accompanied by the development of a coma, convulsions.

In order to avoid poisoning during manicure procedures, it is necessary to choose a liquid that does not include acetone, and also wear a bandage to help protect the respiratory system from the penetration of acetone vapor. It is worth noting that most often poisoning occurs during professional work (observed in masters of manicure), less often - when creating a home manicure. Most often, chronic poisoning occurs if a person has contact with acetone for a long time. Acute poisonings are observed less often, and more often occur through carelessness, with careless handling of the liquid, with its accidental ingestion through the digestive system.

Acetone poisoning in children

Children can be poisoned if repair and construction work related to the use of acetone, solvent, paints is carried out in the houses. The child's organism is very sensitive to the content in the air, the environment of toxic substances. Therefore, when carrying out any work in the house, it is better to take care of that the children are not at home. It is best to send them to the camp, or to visit grandmothers, grandfathers, relatives. By the time the children return home, acetone vapor has already disappeared from the body.

The second way of poisoning children is to get into the body of acetone in any form, by any means. Most often, young children try acetone, left unattended to taste, drink it, which leads to poisoning. You can not leave these things unattended, if the house has children. They are driven by interest, a natural desire for knowledge, so they almost always taste everything.

[27], [28], [29], [30], [31]

Complications and consequences

The consequences can be different. First of all, it depends on whether the first aid was provided to a person, and how quickly it was provided. The consequences can be simple - intoxication develops, blood function is destroyed, erythrocytes are destroyed, anemia, anemia develops. Gradually, there is a violation of the functional state of internal organs: blood circulation is disturbed, cardiovascular system activity.

The most dangerous complication is a violation of the kidneys, the liver, up to the development of renal and hepatic insufficiency. Often the poisoning ends in a lethal outcome. Death can come from insufficiency, pulmonary edema, brain, inflammatory process in the kidneys, liver, spleen enlargement, violation of water-salt and acid-base balance.

[32]

Death from Acetone

Poisoning with acetone very often ends in a fatal outcome. Death occurs if you do not provide urgent help in a timely manner, or render it wrong. Usually from the moment of penetration of the poison into the body to the death of the organism passes from 12 hours to 5 days.

[33], [34], [35], [36]

Diagnostics of the poisoning with acetone

In order to diagnose any disease, with the appearance of its first signs, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. In case of poisoning, there is no time to wait, so you need to call an ambulance. At the same time, it is necessary to describe in as much detail as possible to the incoming physician all the symptoms, to say what substances had to be dealt with, which will allow to determine what caused the development of poisoning. This can greatly facilitate diagnosis. Perhaps the doctor will simply introduce an antidote, and the poison will be neutralized.

It is also important to describe in as much detail as possible to your doctor your condition, your subjective sensations, which is an important diagnostic indicator. First of all, the doctor will provide first aid.

Then, when the threat of life is over, diagnostics is carried out. Usually a standard examination is conducted: the doctor first interrogates the patient, collects general information about him, an anamnesis of life. Here, the cause of the pathology may be hidden. For example, a person can work in a factory where, due to his professional duties, he has constant contact with acetone, or other substances that include acetone. Often people working with paint, solvents are often prone to chronic poisoning. Also, poisoning often happens in manicure masters, who work with liquids for removing varnish, materials for coating and nail extensions. Thus, a routine survey can become an important diagnostic tool. Eliminate this type of poisoning can be by completely eliminating the poisoning factors, or reducing their impact on the body.

Then the doctor conducts compulsory collection of an anamnesis of the disease, on the basis of which he can judge the peculiarities of the poisoning course, judge how long and in what concentration the poison has penetrated the body, what complications and disorders he has already managed to cause in the body, how can he neutralize his further act. It is on the basis of the medical history that the doctor can predict the further development and outcome of poisoning.

It is also necessary to know whether any treatment has been carried out, what its effectiveness is, and what other measures have been taken. Based on this, further treatment can be developed.

Then the doctor examines the patient. Classical methods of research are used, such as palpation, percussion, auscultation. These are standard methods that are traditionally used for any kind of research, and can be very informative. During palpation the doctor probes possible lesions, assesses the degree of hyperemia, swelling of tissues, local temperature. When auscultation, the doctor listens for breathing, palpitations. This allows you to assess how severe the damage resulting from metabolic disorders in the body, how severe is intoxication. With percussion, you can also identify multiple lesions, for example, foci of inflammation, swelling, and seals.

It happens that the data of the survey and examination is not enough to make a diagnosis and to select an adequate treatment. Therefore, to clarify the data, laboratory and instrumental methods of investigation can be assigned, which depend on the organ in which the possible pathology is located.

[37], [38], [39], [40]

Analyzes

Assign standard tests - biochemical blood test and clinical tests. The most commonly prescribed tests: blood, urine, feces. This allows us to assess the overall orientation of what is happening. They indirectly indicate what damage occurred in connection with the effect of poison on the body. For example. A normal blood test will indicate an inflammatory, infectious, or allergic process. You can also roughly guess which system of organs is the main pathological process, what is its severity.

It is possible to assess whether the processes that occur in the body are reversible, or the damage to tissues and organs has already become irreversible. For example, if you detect a large amount of protein in the urine, you can talk about the development of the inflammatory process in the kidneys. If there is a violation of ESR, we can talk about an inflammatory process, with an increase in the number of eosinophils, we can talk about an allergic reaction.

Based on these general data, you can determine the course of further diagnosis. There is no need to prescribe a lot of superfluous, littleinformative analyzes. It is necessary to look at the general picture of pathology, and to assign tests that can give the most accurate picture of the pathology that will be informative and necessary. So, if the analysis shows a high content of eosinophils and an elevated level of histamine, an allergic process can be assumed.

Further diagnostic studies should be conducted in this direction. To clarify the data, allergens are prescribed, the analysis for the content of the total and specific immunoglobulin E, on the level of histamine. A detailed immunogram may be required that will display the current state of the immune system. After all, any intoxication, especially chronic. May cause damage by the immune system, may cause increased sensitization of the body. Acetone can act as an allergen, which provokes the development of an allergic reaction. Also, an autoimmune reaction is often observed, in which acetone, which enters the body, is perceived as a factor (antigen) that provokes autoimmune aggression. That is, the body can produce excessive amounts of antibodies, and their aggression will be directed not only at the destruction of foreign cells and particles, but also at the attack. Elimination and irritation of cells of their own organism.

Also, a toxicological study is often conducted, during which a toxin is determined that affects the body. The analysis shows what substance is in the biological fluids of a person. You can also determine its quantitative content.

[41],

Instrumental diagnostics

Instrumental diagnostics can be quite diverse. It is determined by the cause of the development of poisoning, as well as determined by what alleged violations in the body triggered the ingestion of poison. Usually appointed after a preliminary examination and a patient's interview, when the doctor already has a presumptive diagnosis, or the alleged cause of the pathology. Then it is expedient to conduct laboratory analyzes, and already knowing the approximate direction of the search, to assign the necessary instrumental studies.

Thus, acetone, getting into the body through the digestive tract, can provoke a burn of the mucous membranes, a burn of the esophagus, a mucosal and submucosal layer, a violation of the synthesis of hormones, enzymes, hydrochloric acid, pathology of peristalsis and motor skills. If you suspect a trauma, or the development of any gastrointestinal disease, you may need a gastroscopy, a radiography, an ultrasound, a colonoscopy.

If acetone vapor hits through the respiratory tract, damage to the mucous membranes may occur, as well as the normal condition of the bronchi, lungs, and alveoli. If there is a suspicion of respiratory system diseases, a thorough investigation using spirogram, x-ray, functional tests is used. Also, poisoning with acetone is reflected in the state of CCC, circulatory system, on the composition of the blood. In diseases of the heart and circulatory system, an electrocardiogram, angiography, ultrasound of the heart and other studies may be required.

Magnetic resonance imaging may also be required to evaluate the condition of the osseous system and soft tissues, and to identify possible pathologies at the earliest stages of their formation.

Differential diagnosis

First of all, it is necessary to determine which substance caused the poisoning. On this depends the method of providing emergency care, the composition and the scheme of neutralizing, therapeutic and restorative therapy. For this, laboratory and instrumental diagnostics are carried out. The most informative method of laboratory research is toxicological analysis, which allows to identify substances that have got into the body and caused poisoning. The advantage of this method is that it is possible to determine not only qualitative, but also quantitative indicators.

Then, it is necessary to study the complications and damage that have arisen in the body due to the ingestion and exposure of the poison to the body. At this stage, it is important to differentiate between diseases that can cause changes in the body. Instrumental methods are used primarily, consultations of other specialists may be required. It is also necessary to differentiate the violations by origin, to determine the exact cause of their occurrence. That is, it is necessary to determine whether the infringement is due to toxin exposure to the body, or is triggered by other factors. This can be helped by monitoring the patient's condition in the dynamics, as well as questioning the patient, examining, performing functional tests, laboratory and instrumental studies.

[42], [43]

Treatment of the poisoning with acetone

First of all, it is necessary to neutralize the poison, stop its effect on the body. To do this, you need to give the first urgent help: induce vomiting, to wash the stomach to the state of "clean water". This is detoxification therapy, in which sorbents are introduced into the body, other substances that act as those factors that absorb and exhale toxins. It also mitigates the effects of the negative effects of poison on the body.

After the threat of life is over, supportive therapy is conducted, which is aimed at stabilizing vital functions, normalizing the state of the body. The main attention is paid to the introduction of vitamin complexes, minerals, glucose, Ringer's solution, other supporting substances into the body, which provide support and nutrition to the body, increase its resistance and endurance.

Gradually, recovery processes are started. Also at this time it is important to comply with dietary nutrition. Most often, the No1 table is used for 1-3 days. Then they switch to a sparing diet on the basis of steamed, boiled food.

Treatment for poisoning with acetone is long, especially when ingested through the digestive system. Usually, treatment continues even after there are no visible symptoms of poisoning. Apply mainly etiological therapy, which is aimed at eliminating the cause, since almost all the pathologies developing in the body after poisoning are a consequence of the pathological process that occurs in the body as a result of poison. It is also important to eliminate the irritating factors that trigger the development of the pathological process. In some cases, this is enough to eliminate pathology.

The most common treatment is complex, since local treatment is not always able to completely eliminate pathology. It only masks the symptoms. The composition of therapy includes predominantly drug treatment (is the use of drugs of systemic effects). With all the necessary recommendations, treatment will be quite effective.

Patients with reduced immunity or signs of autoimmune aggression are at risk of developing infection, or inflammation, therefore they are prescribed antiviral, antibacterial, or anti-inflammatory therapy, respectively. With a tendency to allergic reactions, antiallergic, antihistamines are prescribed.

Often poisoning is accompanied by vitamin deficiency, respectively, and vitamin therapy is prescribed. It is also important to adjust the diet, choose the appropriate diet.

What should I do if I get poisoned with acetone?

We need to call an ambulance as soon as possible. Prior to her arrival, it is necessary to provide access to fresh air, to stop the exposure of the body to toxin. Then you should induce vomiting, provide a plentiful drink. You can drink a sorbent, for example, activated carbon, which binds and removes toxins from the body.

First aid in poisoning with acetone

It is necessary to quickly stop the effect of the poison on the body. To do this, take the victim to fresh air, or open all windows, doors, ventilate the room. After the substance has ceased to enter the body, you can induce vomiting to remove it. It is also recommended to drink a sorbent that attracts and removes toxin from the body. It should be noted that the removal of toxin from the body contributes to activated carbon, white coal, sorbex. Also need to call an ambulance. Prior to her arrival, provide the victim with peace, give warm tea, or better - warm milk, as it is the means that provides removal and absorption of toxins.

[44], [45]

What should I do if I get acetone on my skin?

If it gets on the skin, a burn develops, because acetone acts as a substance that is sufficiently potent. It can cause burns and irritation of the skin, mucous membranes. So, if you get on the skin, you should rinse it with plenty of water, and then lubricate with a thick layer of greasy cream, or Vaseline. After this, you need to see a doctor as soon as possible to provide further care and treatment. The injured area should be covered with a sterile bandage.

Acetone antidote

There is no specific antidote for acetone. However, a reliable means, neutralizing the action of acetone in the body, are sorbents. The most effective with respect to acetone: sorbex, activated carbon, enterosgel.

[46],

Medications

Drugs can be taken after a doctor's consultation, and only after the body's condition has normalized, the threat of life has passed, and the toxin is removed from the body - this is the main precaution. Otherwise, a number of complications and side effects may occur.

Usually poisoning, as well as ongoing manipulations (for example, gastric lavage), is accompanied by a pronounced pain syndrome. Therefore, the patient is prescribed painkillers, such as novocaine. A solution of novocaine 1% is injected into the body intramuscularly. Dosage can be chosen only by a doctor, because it is determined by the weight of the patient, the severity of the pathological process, and other factors. On average, the dosage ranges from 0.5 to 1 ml intramuscularly.

Poisoning with acetone can be accompanied by an allergic reaction, so antiallergic drugs are prescribed.

Most often prescribe suprastin. It is taken 1 tablet 2-3 times a day, depending on the severity of the reaction and the severity of the symptoms of poisoning. It should be noted that the drug may cause drowsiness and delayed reaction.

If suprastin is ineffective, loratodine (100 mg per day) is recommended, since it is a prolonged-release drug that acts for a long time.

Sorbents are also assigned. The closest analogue of activated carbon is sorbex, which is also a good sorbent. It is a white coal. It is a prolonged-release drug, updated. It is enough to drink 1 tablet a day. In case of severe poisoning, it is recommended to increase the dosage to 2-3 tablets per day. The duration of treatment is usually not less than 3 days.

Vitamins

Vitamins are necessary for restorative processes. They are prescribed to patients at the stage of restorative treatment, after neutralizing the action of the poison, the basic vital signs are normalized and stabilized, and regenerative (regenerative) processes are started. Dosage may be higher than with a healthy body, outside of poisoning.

It is recommended to take vitamins in the following daily concentrations:

• Vitamin PP - 60 mg
• Vitamin A - 240 mg
• Vitamin E - 45 mg
• Vitamin C - 1000 mg.

Particularly important after poisoning are vitamins A and E, because they are able to eliminate the effects of intoxication, neutralize the effect of free radicals, byproducts of metabolism, which are formed in the body during the decay of the toxin. Vitamin C is a powerful source of energy, has antioxidant properties, promotes tissue repair.

Homeopathy

Homeopathic remedies should be used only after a preliminary consultation with the doctor, especially in case of treatment of the effects of poisoning. Incorrect use, non-compliance with dosage, and even the incompatibility of certain drugs and substances can adversely affect the state of an organism weakened by intoxication.

If acetone hits the surface of the skin, zinc ointment may be recommended topically. It is applied a thin layer on the skin. At the same time, it must be carefully grinded until completely absorbed. Apply up to three times a day. Ointment is good for eliminating rash, irritation, chemical burn, but also helps to remove inflammation, prevent adherence and further spread of infection.

To remove the effects of poisoning, removing from the body the remains of free radicals, toxins, products of disturbed metabolism, you may need a sorbent. To eliminate toxins and metabolic products, it is recommended to take enterosgel. To ingest 1 tablespoon of the drug dissolve in a glass of water and drink in one or two meals. As a result, the body is cleansed.

To remove the inflammatory process and eliminate the effects of intoxication, it is recommended to take mummies. To make water mummy infusion it is necessary to fill 2 grams of substance with a liter of water, to insist for 10 hours, then you can drink 1-3 glasses a day. The treatment is long. Most often the duration of treatment is from 7 to 28 days. But sometimes longer therapy may be required - up to 3 months. Depends on the severity of poisoning.

Physiotherapeutic treatment

Physiotherapy helps quite effectively and in a short time to cope with the effects of poisoning, and also allows accelerating the recovery processes in the body. It is used as part of complex therapy, or after the basic treatment is completed.

The main methods of physiotherapy are ultrasound, microcurrents, waves of different lengths. Electrophoresis is used, with which drugs are injected directly into the damaged tissue. The depth of their penetration is regulated by a microcurrent. In case of damage to the skin by acetone, cryoprocedures, thermal procedures, and pilling are indicated. Diamond pilling, grinding is used. Laser procedures, phototherapy proved to be very good.

Alternative treatment

There are many alternative medicine that along with traditional drugs help to successfully overcome the effects of poisoning. Remove toxins from the body. Let's consider the basic means.

• Recipe # 1

To prepare the broth, you need to mix components such as flax seed, carrot seeds, dill, sage and corn stigmas in approximately equal parts. Pour boiling water, insist an hour, drink a third of a glass a day.

• Recipe # 2

It is recommended to sprinkle the wrist with essential oil of cloves, and also to sniff the open vial of ammonia. This will not lose consciousness, maintain awareness and sensitivity at the optimal level. It is necessary to ensure a high position of the head.

• Recipe # 3

If there is poisoning, and there is no doctor or medical institution nearby, it is necessary to resort to independent assistance with the use of alternative means. You should induce vomiting by tickling your finger in the throat (gag reflex). After that, drink a glass of soapy water (it is better to use a laundry soap), which will also cause vomiting and provide abundant gastric lavage.

Herbal Treatment

Bindweed of the field - for the treatment of digestive disorders, the removal of the effects of intoxication, the overcoming of convulsions, spasms. It should be borne in mind that convolvulus is also a poisonous agent, so you must strictly follow the dosage when it is used. Apply mainly roots, stems. Has hemostatic properties. Positively affects the digestive tract. The main forms of application are powder, infusion, tincture. As a decoction is rarely used. The powder is the ground roots. They drink in the morning on an empty stomach. They are used as powder for irritation and skin damage.

Belen black is also often used to overcome the effects of intoxication, despite the fact that it is also a strong poison. It is necessary to strictly adhere to the dosage, adhere to the recommended treatment regimen. It relieves spasm and reduces pain, and also helps to normalize the condition.

Voroniy eye is used to treat intoxication, eliminate digestive disorders, normalizes the composition and function of blood. Infusion is infused in the dark. It must be shaken. Then strain. Apply 0.5 ml in the morning and in the evening. Do not exceed the dosage.

Prevention

Prevention - compliance with the rules of work with acetone. Especially if there are children in the house, because their body is more sensitive to the effects of any toxins. If you get poison in the body, you need to provide first aid as soon as possible. Also, you can not leave acetone unattended, as children can drink it because of curiosity. Do not leave with food because it looks like a clear liquid without color. It can be mistakenly drunk or added to food. Although this is usually still difficult to do due to the fact that acetone has a sharp and extremely unpleasant smell. Also you can not smell acetone (which is often done by drug addicts and just extreme lovers), because acetone is a precursor of narcotic drugs that cause drug intoxication, delirium, hallucinations.

[52]

Forecast

If the patient is given first aid in a timely manner, determine the cause of the poisoning, neutralize the toxin, and conduct the necessary treatment, the prognosis will be favorable. Acetone poisoning ends in a lethal outcome only if the first aid is not timely provided, or the poison has not been neutralized. With external damage to the skin with acetone, with proper and complex treatment, skin damage can also be completely and completely eliminated.
