- Gastric Lavage
Induce vomiting, or perform gastric lavage; follow with activated charcoal and saline cathertic; general supportive treatment for symptoms; maintain fluid and electrolyte balance; monitor breathing and heart rate, blood pressure; subcutaneous application [elzorrocolorado.com]
Gastric lavage is not necessary after small to moderate ingestions if activated charcoal can be given promptly. Whole-bowel irrigation has not been evaluated in the management of Aconitum or other sodium channel opener ingestions. [accessmedicine.mhmedical.com]
Other “traditional” treatments for poisoning are discouraged, such as gastric lavage, which is a dying breed these days anyways, and activated charcoal due to risk of aspiration in a vomiting individual (3). [naturespoisons.com]
