Neutralization of poison

Substances that enter into a chemical compound with a poison, transferring it to an inactive state, are called antidotes, so the acid neutralizes the alkali and vice versa. Uniatiol is effective in poisoning with cardiac glycosides and in alcoholic delirium. Antarsin is effective in poisoning with arsenic compounds, in which the use of unithiol is contraindicated. Sodium thiosulfate is used for poisoning with hydrocyanic acid and its salts, which in the course of chemical interaction pass into nontoxic rhodanous compounds or cyanhydrides easily removed in urine.
The ability to bind toxic substances have: activated carbon, tannin, potassium permanganate, which are added to the wash water. With the same purpose. Use a plentiful drink of milk, protein water, egg whites (according to indications).
Covering agents (up to 12 egg whites per liter of boiled cold water, vegetable mucus, jelly, vegetable oil, aqueous mixture of starch or flour) are especially indicated for poisoning with irritating and cauterizing poisons, such as acids, alkalis, salts of heavy metals.
Activated carbon is injected into the interior in the form of a water slurry (2-3 tablespoons per 1-2 glasses of water), has a high sorption capacity for many alkaloids (atropine, cocaine, codeine, morphine, strychnine, etc.), glycosides (strophanthin, digitoxin and Etc.), as well as microbial toxins, organic and to a lesser extent inorganic substances. One gram of activated carbon can adsorb up to 800 mg of morphine, up to 700 mg of barbiturates, up to 300 mg of alcohol.
As a means of accelerating the passage of poison along the gastrointestinal tract and preventing absorption, petrolatum oil (3 ml per 1 kg of body weight) or glycerol (200 ml) can be used for poisoning with petrol, kerosene, turpentine, aniline, phosphorus, etc. fat-soluble compounds, ).
