Medical manipulations

Gastric lavage

Gastric lavage is especially important at the pre-hospital stage, as it will lead to a decrease in the concentration of toxic substances in the blood.

Hemodilution and blood replacement surgery

Blood dilution (hemodilution) to reduce the concentration of toxic substances in it has long been used in practical medicine. This purpose is served by water loading (drinking copiously) and parenteral administration of water-electrolyte and plasma-substituting solutions.

Forced diuresis

Forced diuresis as a method of detoxification is based on the use of drugs that promote a sharp increase in diuresis; this is the most common method of conservative treatment of poisoning, in which the elimination of hydrophilic toxicants is carried out primarily by the kidneys.

Electroshock therapy

The use of electroconvulsive therapy (synonyms - electroconvulsive therapy, electroshock therapy) for the treatment of mental disorders has a history of almost 70 years.

Insulin coma therapy

Insulin therapy is a general name for treatment methods based on the use of insulin; in psychiatry, it is a method of treating mentally ill patients using large doses of insulin that cause a comatose or subcomatose state, called insulin shock or insulin comatose therapy (IT).

Liver cleansing: what does liver cleansing give?

Cleansing the liver at home

It is necessary to remember about possible exacerbations, the risk of developing acute conditions that require urgent medical care, in a word, before carrying out home procedures, you should think through your actions in detail, assess your health and weigh all the pros and cons.

What is detoxification and how is it done?

It should be noted that immune detoxification is a relatively late evolutionary acquisition, characteristic only of vertebrates. Its ability to "adapt" to combat a foreign agent that has penetrated the body makes the immune defense a universal weapon against virtually all possible compounds with a large molecular weight.

Hydrocolonotherapy

Colon hydrotherapy is a cleansing procedure that is performed in a medical facility by irrigating the colon with a large amount of liquid and has a beneficial effect on the body (especially the small intestine, kidneys, liver).

Hypoxytherapy

Hypoxic therapy, or normobaric hypoxia, promotes non-specific stimulation of the body's defenses. The mechanisms of the therapeutic effect of hypoxic therapy are unknown, but it can be assumed that its effect is realized by stimulating vital centers in conditions of oxygen starvation.
