TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - EMS Medicine: Poisoning and Envenomations A1 - Joslin, Jeremy A1 - Mangano, James A2 - Cooney, Derek R. PY - 2016 T2 - Cooney's EMS Medicine AB - The poisoned or envenomated patient represents a unique challenge to the EMS medicine practitioner. In many cases the offending medication, toxin, plant, or animal is unknown to the rescuer. Even when the offending agent is known, treatment can vary significantly based on severity of symptoms. Management of a patient with tricyclic antidepressant ingestion, for example, can range from benzodiazepines to bicarbonate to intravenous intralipid emulsion therapy. Proper education and training, coupled with robust, updated protocols, is needed to care for this group of patients effectively.
