Injuries and poisonings

Craniocerebral trauma in children

Traumatic brain injury in children (TBI) is a mechanical damage to the skull and intracranial structures (brain, blood vessels, nerves, meninges).

Symptomatic intensive therapy in poisoning

Symptomatic (intensive syndromic) therapy consists of the emergency elimination of dysfunctions of vital organs and systems that have developed due to the action of a toxic substance.

Age-specific features of acute poisoning treatment

The peculiarities of resuscitation and intensive care in children are associated with quantitative and qualitative differences between the adult and child organism.

Methods of stimulating natural detoxification

Detoxification, carried out as an emergency medical measure, aims to accelerate the removal of toxicants from the body, as well as reduce their toxicity during their stay in biological environments and includes three main groups of methods aimed at stimulating the natural processes of cleansing the body or replacing them (prosthetics) by using artificial detoxification methods and neutralizing toxicants with the help of antidotes

Antidote therapy - specific detoxification

Antidote therapy remains effective only in the early, toxicogenic phase of acute poisoning, the duration of which varies and depends on the toxicokinetic characteristics of the given toxic substance.

Comprehensive detoxification of the body

Carrying out complete detoxification in cases of mild and some moderate poisonings does not present a difficult problem and is achievable by enhancing natural detoxification processes.

Diagnosis of acute poisoning

Clinical diagnostics of acute poisoning is the most accessible method used both at the pre-hospital stage and in hospital, and consists of identifying symptoms characteristic of the effect of a toxic substance on the body based on the principle of its selective toxicity.

Endogenous intoxication, or endotoxicosis

From a general point of view, the term “endogenous intoxication” (endotoxicosis) denotes a pathological condition (syndrome) that develops in various diseases due to the accumulation of various toxicants of endogenous origin in the body due to insufficient function of the natural biological detoxification system.

Inhalation injury

Inhalation trauma is damage to the respiratory tract, lungs and the body as a whole due to inhalation of combustion products during a fire. Inhalation trauma can be isolated or combined with skin burns, significantly aggravating the course of burn disease and worsening the prognosis.

Abdominal trauma

Closed abdominal trauma occurs as a result of exposure to a blast wave, falling from a height, blows to the abdomen, compression of the torso by heavy objects. The severity of the injury depends on the degree of excess pressure of the shock wave or the impact force on the abdomen by a moving object.
