1、PLANT POISONINGin Critical Care林秉熙 醫師新光醫院腎臟科主治醫師國立陽明大學醫學系講師Lin B.S.1Key Points (1)There are a large variety of plant poisons in nature with only few specific antidotes.Acute gastroenteritis is a feature of most plant poisonings. Organic brain syndromes are common.Supportive care and decontamination
2、(gastro-intestinal tract and others) are the mainstays of treatment. Lin B.S.2Key Points (2)Identification of the plant is important for anticipating clinical events.In plant-related cardiac glycoside toxicity, antidigoxin Fab fragments may be of use.Mucosal irritation, renal failure, and hypo-calce
