Programme
General Approach to the Poisoned Patient and Neuromuscular Toxins
In this first session we will consider the general approach to the poisoned patient which is the key in all cases, remembering that most small animal poisons cannot be treated with specific antidotes. Neuromuscular toxicity is relatively common, especially metaldehyde (slug bait) in dogs and permethrins in cats, and in this session we will go on to discuss a general approach to the treatment of patients with muscle tremors or seizures. Find out what RSI DEAD is all about!
Key points to be covered:
- General approach to the poisoned patient including aspects of decontamination
- Intravenous lipid emulsion: what it is, when and how to use it
- Rational approach to neuromuscular toxicity
