At the Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases, children showed signs of fatigue and crying, which were warning signs of the impact of toxins and increased the risk of dangerous complications if not treated promptly.
The child was diagnosed with rat poisoning. vital signs such as pulse, blood pressure, SPO2 and consciousness levels were stable despite the child having a panic reaction. The child was given a gas stove and washed with saline for about 15 minutes, until the stomach contusion became clear. Through analysis, gastric juice contains food, a little wheat and some signs of rat poisoning.
Patient P continues to have his vital signs checked and necessary tests such as blood formula, blood clotting test, liver, kidney and heart function conducted to detect complications early. Fortunately, her health was stable and she was discharged from the hospital afterwards.
Doctor Bui Thi Hien, Department of Pediatrics, Central Hospital for Tropical Diseases, said: Mouse drugs can cause serious harm if not treated promptly. Toxins can cause blood clotting disorders, making babies susceptible to bleeding to the tooth, bleeding orange, vomiting or subcutaneous bleeding. The drug also affects the central nervous system, causing symptoms such as cramps, struggles, and leakage and can progress to loss of consciousness and respiratory failure in severe cases. Immediate first aid on the spot and quick transportation of patients to medical facilities is a factor that determines survival. After only 6 hours of contact, the toxin can enter the body through the intestines, causing extremely serious consequences, threatening life.
To prevent unfortunate cases, Dr. Hien recommends: Families should consider not using rat poison in the home if not necessary. You should find safer methods to control mice, such as traps or professional rat poisoning services. If necessary, the medicine should be placed in high places, away from children and pets. Do not leave rat poison in hard-to-reach areas such as cabinets, shelves or near children's toys. In case of suspected exposure to rat poison, first aid should be given on the spot by completely removing the remaining medicine from the mouth, exfoliating and rinsing the skin in contact. Bring patients to medical facilities as soon as possible to prevent serious consequences.
