The treatment aims to accelerate the elimination of toxin from the body and is the only successful method in many cases of poisoning and can be achieved in different ways:
1 - Renal emptying: This is the preferred method, provided that the kidney is the natural way to expel venom and its metabolites and that its function is good, through the administration of urine by injection of mannitol. In some cases, it is necessary to change the alkaline acid balance of plasma and urine to increase the speed of emptying poison, (Phenobarbital), which increases the output of the body with increased alkaline urine (alkalinization) and vice versa in the case of poisoning with amphetamine.
2 - Peritoneal dialysis: It is required that the poison is easily influential and be high in the blood and resort to this method when there is kidney failure, such as in the case of poisoning with aspirin and methanol alcohol and others.
3 - Hemodialysis: It is more efficient than peritoneal washing and requires that the amount of toxin in the blood rate is high and the degree of consistency in protein and fat is low, but if the state of consistency with protein and fat high in this case, the development of protein or fat in the liquid washing to facilitate Poisoning process such as short-acting barbiturates.
4. Hemoperfusion: A method to extract toxin from the body through active charcoal or resin. It is preferred to use high molecular weight toxins, high protein cohesion, high fat and low blood concentration, such as anti-depressant and phenothiazine poisoning.
Treatment of symptoms:
It is the treatment of symptoms resulting from the use of poison, such as pain relievers and sedatives in cases of convulsions and the use of artificial respiration in case of respiratory failure.
