Treatment
1. Administer acute poisoning emergency protocols.
2. Based on the patient's symptoms and any remaining medication bottles/packages found nearby, swiftly identify the toxic substance. For suspected suicides, search for suicide notes. When children ingest medication by mistake, patiently and thoroughly inquire to determine the drug name and dosage for emergency treatment.If the specific poison cannot be immediately identified, still follow acute poisoning emergency principles: induce vomiting, perform gastric lavage, administer cathartics, and use antidotes to rapidly remove toxins and prevent absorption.
3. Maintain airway patency. Prevent aspiration of vomit into the trachea by turning the head to one side and promptly clearing any vomitus.
4. For individuals without breathing or a pulse, immediately perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and external cardiac compression.
