Life-Saving Poison Management

A Poisoning Centre is a specialized medical unit dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of patients exposed to toxic substances, including chemicals, drugs, pesticides, or accidental ingestions. Staffed with experienced toxicologists, emergency physicians, and critical care specialists, the centre provides rapid assessment and life-saving interventions for acute and chronic poisoning cases.

Rat Killer Paste Poisoning Management

Rat killer paste, commonly containing anticoagulant compounds, can be extremely toxic if ingested accidentally or intentionally. Immediate medical attention is critical to prevent serious complications, including internal bleeding, organ damage, or life-threatening conditions.

At our Poisoning Centre, patients are provided with prompt and effective treatment, which may include:

  • Gastric decontamination to remove the toxin from the stomach.

  • Administration of specific antidotes, such as Vitamin K, to counteract the effects of anticoagulants.

  • Supportive care, including blood transfusions or plasma therapy if required.

  • Continuous monitoring of vital signs, blood clotting parameters, and organ functions.

Insecticide Poisoning Management

Insecticides, including organophosphates and pyrethroids, are widely used in homes and agriculture but can be highly toxic if ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin. Immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent serious complications such as respiratory distress, seizures, organ failure, or even death.

At our Poisoning Centre, patients receive rapid and effective treatment, which may include:

  • Decontamination to remove the insecticide from the body through gastric lavage or skin washing.

  • Administration of specific antidotes, such as atropine or pralidox
