[Prevention of hyperhydration complications of intestinal lavage in acute poisonings by psychopharmacological agents].

Examination of 45 patients with acute oral poisonings by psychopharmacological agents who underwent for the body's detoxjication intestinal lavage using salt enteral solution that was isoionic to chymus and isoosotic to plasma has revealed its preventive action on the development of tissue hyperhydration and its corrective effect of plasma ionic composition. It has been ascertained that after intestinal lavage, there are significant increases in partial arterial blood oxygen pressure by 80% and in arteriovenous oxygen difference by 90%.

[Problems in the standardization of inpatient health care in clinical toxicology].

Standardization of inpatient toxicological care is an urgent task to reduce mortality from acute chemical poisonings. Since 2005, health care standards and patient management protocols in poisonings with psychotropic and hypnotic agents, ethanol and other alcohols, and ethylene glycol have been developed and work is in progress on standards for intoxication with corrosive substances, soaps, detergents, carbon dioxide, other gases, smokes, and vapors. Major difficulties have been revealed.
