Lecture number 10. Acute poisoning

Acute poisoning - diseases of chemical etiology, the clinical picture of which develops with a single ingestion of chemicals into the human body in a toxic dose that can cause violations of vital functions and endanger life. According to the cause and place of occurrence, the following types of poisoning are distinguished.

1. Accidental poisoning (accidents) at work - exposure to industrial poisons during an accident or in violation of technical safety rules during the period of work with harmful substances; in everyday life - when there is an erroneous or incorrect use of household chemicals, in case of self-medication with medicinal drugs, their overdose or their erroneous use, with alcohol and drug intoxication, bites of poisonous insects and snakes; medical errors.

2. Deliberate poisoning - suicidal poisoning (true or demonstrative) and criminal poisoning (with the aim of killing or bringing to a helpless state); "police" (when using chemicals and poisons to restore public order) and combat poisoning (when using chemical weapons), including as a result of terrorist acts. According to the number of victims, individual, group and mass acute intoxications are distinguished. The intake of a toxic substance is possible through the mouth (incorporated, oral), through the respiratory tract (inhalation), unprotected skin (percutaneous), by parenteral injection, or when injected into the rectum, vagina, external auditory canal. In the clinical course of acute poisoning, two stages are distinguished: toxicogenic and somatogenic. The essence of the toxic stage is that the active substance in the body has a dose that can cause a specific toxic effect. The somatogenic stage occurs after the elimination or destruction of the toxic substance and manifests itself in the form of "trace" or residual violations of the structural and functional state of organs and systems.

General principles for the diagnosis of acute poisoning

1. Clinical diagnosis is based on the following data:

1) inspection of the scene for the discovery of material evidence of poisoning;

2) anamnesis from the words of the victim or others - you can find out what toxic substance the victim took, the time of taking the toxic substance, the dose of the toxic substance taken, the route of penetration of the toxic substance into the body, the circumstances that accompanied the development of poisoning, etc .;

3) studying the clinical picture of the disease to identify specific symptoms of poisoning that are characteristic of a certain toxic substance or group of substances according to the principle of "selective toxicity".

2. Laboratory toxicological diagnostics is aimed at the qualitative or quantitative determination of toxic substances in the biological media of the body (blood, urine, etc.).

3. Pathological diagnostics consists in the detection of specific post-mortem signs of poisoning and is carried out by forensic experts.

1. Methyl alcohol poisoning

Methyl alcohol is absorbed by all routes - respiratory, digestive and percutaneous. The lethal dose of methanol when taken orally ranges from 40-250 ml, but taking even 10-20 ml can cause blindness. Poisoning also occurs after taking various alcoholic mixtures containing from 1,5 to 2,5% methanol. After absorption, methanol is distributed throughout all tissues due to its water solubility. The largest amount accumulates in the kidneys and gastrointestinal tract, the smallest in the brain, muscles and adipose tissue.

Pathological anatomical lesions include cerebral edema and damage to the initially inflammatory, and later dystrophic, nature of retinal ganglion cells. In some cases, in addition to damage to the nervous system, degenerative lesions of the liver, kidneys, lungs and heart muscle are found.

clinical picture

In the toxic effect of methanol, two-phase action can be distinguished. In the initial period (phase I), methanol acts on the body as a whole molecule and has a predominantly narcotic effect, but weaker than that of ethyl alcohol. Subsequently (phase II), the harmful effect of oxidation products is manifested.

In the clinical picture, periods are distinguished: intoxication, latent, or relative well-being (lasting from several hours to 1-2 days), the main manifestations of intoxication and, with a favorable outcome, reverse development.

According to the severity, mild, moderate (or ophthalmic) and severe (or generalized) are distinguished. With mild poisoning, rapid fatigue, headache, nausea, and a state of slight intoxication are noted, which occur after a latent period of 30 minutes to several hours. The simultaneous absorption of ethyl and methyl alcohol increases the latent period and reduces the severity of poisoning.

In case of moderate poisoning, after a short latent period, the patient develops a headache, dizziness, acute pain in the abdomen (mainly in the epigastric region), vomiting, restlessness, delirium, convulsions. Ultimately, a deep coma sets in. The patient has hypothermia, in some cases, cyanosis, when respiratory failure of a central nature develops, followed by cardiovascular failure. At this stage, the pupils dilate, and the study of the fundus indicates the presence of retinal edema. Typical visual disturbances, such as reduced visual acuity, narrowing of the field, dilated pupils, loss of reflex to light, pain in the eyeball occur on the 2nd-6th day. Examination of the fundus reveals signs of optic nerve atrophy. The most severe complication is complete blindness.

Treatment

Treatment includes the following points.

1. Stopping the entry of poison into the body. Cessation of the use of poison, removal from the contaminated atmosphere, removal of poison from the skin.

2. Removal of non-absorbed poison (from the gastrointestinal tract):

1) probe gastric lavage;

2) the use of adsorbents or saline laxatives;

3) cleansing or siphon enema.

3. Removal of absorbed poison:

1) forcing diuresis;

2) methods of extracorporeal detoxification (hemosorption, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, blood replacement operation).

4. Antidote therapy, i.e. neutralization of the poison due to physical or chemical neutralization, as well as competition with the poison for application points.

6. Maintaining the vital functions of the body.

7. Normalization of the water-electrolyte, acid-base state of the body.

8. Treatment of long-term consequences and complications.

Gastric lavage with water or 2% sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by ingestion of 30 g of magnesium sulfate (sodium) in 100 ml of water. Subcutaneously 2 ml cordiamine, 1 ml 20% caffeine solution.

In coma, intravenously, a 5% solution of ethyl alcohol in a 5% glucose solution at the rate of 1,5-2 g of alcohol per 1 kg of the patient's weight per day. Intravenously 400 ml of polyglucin (rheopolyglucin), 50-100 mg of prednisolone, glucosone-vocaine mixture (400 ml of 5% glucose solution with 25 ml of 2% novocaine solution), 80-120 mg of furosemide (lasix), 40 ml of 40% - glucose solution with 8 IU of insulin.

2. Ethyl alcohol poisoning

Clinic

When taking toxic doses - agitation, ataxia, stupor, coma with inhibition of reflexes, the smell of alcohol from the mouth, flushing of the face, conjunctivitis, "play" of the pupils, vomiting, involuntary urination, tachycardia, "hoarse" breathing, collapse, vomiting with possible aspiration of emetic wt.

Treatment

Gastric lavage through a thick probe, followed by the introduction of a saline laxative, siphon enema.

Subcutaneously 1 ml of a 0,1% solution of atropine, 2 ml of cordiamine, 1 ml of a 20% solution of caffeine, with collapse - intramuscularly 1 ml of a 1% solution of mezaton. In the absence of pharyngeal reflexes - tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation.

Forcing diuresis with the simultaneous administration of a 4% sodium bicarbonate solution in a volume calculated according to the Astrup formula, hypertonic (10- and 20%) glucose solutions with insulin, B and C vitamins, cocarboxylase, nicotinic acid.

With respiratory depression - intravenously slowly 3-5 ml of a 1,5% solution of etimizole, 10 ml of a 2,4% solution of aminophylline, 1 ml of a 5% solution of ephedrine, oxygen inhalation. With aspiration - emergency sanitation bronchoscopy. Parenteral antibiotics.

3. Ethylene glycol (antifreeze) poisoning

The mean lethal dose is approximately 100 ml. It is rapidly absorbed in the digestive tract and distributed to all tissues, creating a maximum concentration in the brain. The main toxic effect is observed in the renal parenchyma, where necrosis of the tubular epithelium develops, interstitial edema, and foci of hemorrhagic necrosis in the cortical layer. Edema is found in the brain.

Clinic

In the clinic of intoxication, 3 periods are distinguished:

1) initial - lasting up to 12 hours, symptoms of CNS damage by the type of alcohol intoxication predominate;

2) neurotoxic - when the symptoms of CNS damage progress and respiratory and cardiovascular system disorders join;

3) nephrotoxic - on the 2nd-5th day, kidney damage predominates in the clinical picture of intoxication.

The duration and severity of periods of intoxication depends on the severity of poisoning. In mild cases, after a period of intoxication (10-15 hours), a slight malaise, headache, and nausea develop. Consciousness remains clear, kidney damage is not observed.

In case of poisoning of moderate severity, against the background of symptoms of intoxication, vomiting, diarrhea, pain in the epigastric region, and headache occur. On the 3-5th day, symptoms of kidney damage appear.

In severe poisoning, loss of consciousness quickly occurs, stiff neck, clonic-tonic convulsions, fever, noisy deep breathing, collapse, and pulmonary edema occur. If the patient does not die on the first day, then from the 2-3rd day symptoms of renal failure develop: thirst appears, back pain, the amount of urine decreases, up to anuria. The liver is enlarged, painful. Death comes from uremia.

Treatment

Gastric lavage with water or 2% sodium bicarbonate solution, followed by the introduction of 30 g of magnesium sulfate in 200 ml of water. Inside 200 ml of a 30% solution of ethyl alcohol.

4. Dichloroethane poisoning

The main routes of entry are the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and skin. The lethal dose of DCE for humans when administered orally is 10-20 ml.

The toxic effect of DCE is due to the narcotic effect on the central nervous system, damage to the liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and a pronounced effect on the cardiovascular system.

Clinic

In the clinical picture, the leading symptoms are: toxic encephalopathy, acute toxic gastritis and gastroenteritis, impaired external respiration, toxic hepatitis, impaired renal function. In the first hours after administration, dizziness, ataxia, psychomotor agitation, clonic-tonic convulsions, depression of consciousness, up to a coma, appear. One of the early signs of poisoning are gastrointestinal disorders in the form of nausea, repeated vomiting with an admixture of bile.

Violation of the function of external respiration often occurs according to the obstructive-aspiration type and is associated with increased salivation, bronchorrhea, and aspiration. Inhibition of the function of the respiratory center, the development of hypertonicity of the respiratory muscles and rigidity of the chest are noted.

A severe complication is exotoxic shock, which is manifested by cooling and cyanosis of the skin, cold sweat, shortness of breath, tachycardia and hypovolemia. Decreased excretory function of the kidneys.

According to the severity of DCE poisoning are divided into the following.

1. Mild poisoning, characterized by the development of dyspeptic disorders, mild neurological symptoms and mild hepatopathy.

2. Moderate poisoning. Occur with symptoms of toxic gastritis, gastroenteritis, toxic encephalopathy, moderate hepatopathy, mild nephropathy.

3. Severe poisoning occurs with severe manifestations of toxic encephalopathy, severe hepatopathy, toxic nephropathy, gastroenteritis.

In case of vapor poisoning, headache, drowsiness, a sweetish taste in the mouth, the smell of poison from the mouth, irritation of the mucous membranes, loss of consciousness, acute hepatic-renal failure with yellowness of the sclera and skin, enlarged liver, anuria occur. When ingested - repeated vomiting, abdominal pain, loose stools with the smell of poison, hyperemia of the sclera, psychomotor agitation, followed by depression and coma, collapse, toxic shock, hemorrhagic syndrome, acute hepatic-renal failure. When the poison gets on the skin, dermatitis develops.

Treatment

In case of vapor poisoning - the removal of the victim from the affected area, with respiratory depression of the ventilator. If the poison gets inside - gastric lavage through a thick probe, followed by the introduction of 3-4 tablespoons of powdered activated carbon in 200 ml of water and 150-200 ml of vaseline oil, siphon enema.
