The Toxicology and Environmental Emergency services at IT Memorial Hospital are dedicated to providing specialized care for patients exposed to toxic substances or experiencing environmental-related emergencies. Our hospital is equipped with a highly skilled team of toxicologists, emergency physicians, and nurses who are trained to handle a wide range of poisoning cases, including drug overdoses, chemical exposures, and environmental hazards like snake bites, insect stings, and heatstroke.
Upon arrival at the Emergency Department, patients suspected of toxic exposure undergo rapid assessment and diagnostic testing to identify the type and severity of the poisoning. Our team utilizes advanced laboratory services and toxicology screenings to determine the appropriate treatment course. For certain cases, we employ specific antidotes or decontamination procedures, such as activated charcoal administration or gastric lavage, to neutralize the toxin and prevent further harm.
Environmental emergencies, such as heat-related illnesses, hypothermia, or exposure to hazardous materials, require immediate and specialized care. Our team is equipped to manage these conditions with interventions tailored to restore and stabilize the patient’s physiological balance. For example, patients suffering from hypothermia are treated with controlled rewarming techniques, while those with heatstroke receive aggressive cooling measures.
In addition to acute management, IT Memorial Hospital emphasizes preventive education and counseling for patients and their families, aiming to reduce the risk of future toxic or environmental exposures. Our toxicology and environmental emergency services are characterized by prompt intervention, expert care, and a commitment to patient safety and recovery.
At IT Memorial Hospital, our goal is to provide comprehensive, life-saving care to patients facing toxic and environmental emergencies, ensuring the best possible outcomes.
