EC Emergency Medicine And Critical Care

Patients who have been exposed to potentially harmful substances have an increased risk of presenting themselves with symp- toms of poisoning when they visit the emergency department of the hospital. The medical team ought to have sufficient preparedness in order to deal with the situations that have been presented. The primary objective of this investigation was to carry out a literature search with the intention of locating recent developments in the management of poisoning cases that are treated in emergency rooms. According to the findings of this study, the medical experts who operate in the emergency department are able to address toxic and dangerous conditions that originate from a number of different sources. When taken as a whole, the personnel working in emergency departments ought to have the appropriate level of education and experience to deal with circumstances such as these.
