From emergency response through recovery — toxicology care
Poisoning Treatment Hospital in Ahmedabad — Toxicology Care
Poisoning is a significant health concern in India, with common causes including agricultural pesticides (organophosphates), snakebites, drug overdoses, and accidental ingestion of household chemicals. At Shrey Hospital in Ahmedabad, our Poisoning Management unit provides rapid assessment, decontamination, and treatment for all types of poisoning. Our emergency physicians are trained in clinical toxicology and have access to essential antidotes and treatment protocols.
Organophosphate poisoning from pesticides is particularly common in agricultural Gujarat and can be life-threatening without prompt treatment. We maintain stocks of atropine and pralidoxime — the essential antidotes for organophosphate poisoning. For snakebites, we have polyvalent antivenom and expertise in managing both venomous snake envenomation and the complications that can arise. Our ICU provides advanced supportive care for patients with severe poisoning requiring ventilation or haemodynamic support.

Your Poisoning Management Journey
From emergency response through recovery — toxicology care
1
Emergency Assessment & Stabilisation
When a poisoned patient arrives, we quickly assess the type and severity of poisoning. We stabilise vital functions, ensure adequate breathing and circulation, and identify the toxin when possible. History from patient, family, or witnesses helps guide treatment.
2
Decontamination & Antidote Therapy
Depending on the toxin and timing, we may perform gastric decontamination (lavage, activated charcoal). We administer specific antidotes when available — atropine and pralidoxime for organophosphate, naloxone for opioids, antivenom for snakebite. Supportive care begins immediately.
3
Intensive Monitoring & Support
Poisoned patients may need ICU-level care including mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure, seizure control, haemodynamic support, and continuous monitoring. We manage complications as they arise and adjust treatment based on patient response.
4
Recovery & Follow-Up
As the toxin is eliminated and patient stabilises, we focus on recovery and addressing any lasting effects. We provide education about poison prevention, follow-up care, and referrals for ongoing support if needed. Psychological support is available for patients and families affected by poisoning.
- FAQS
Helping You Understand Poisoning Management
Poisoning emergencies raise many questions. These answers help you understand what to do if poisoning occurs.
What should I do if someone is poisoned?
Call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department immediately. If possible, identify the poison (bring medication bottles, plant samples, or chemical containers). Do not induce vomiting unless directed by poison control. For chemical ingestion, do not give anything by mouth. For skin exposure, flush with water.
What is organophosphate poisoning?
Organophosphate poisoning occurs from exposure to certain pesticides (insecticides). It affects nerve function, causing symptoms like excessive salivation, sweating, vomiting, diarrhoea, muscle weakness, and respiratory difficulty. It can be fatal without prompt treatment with antidotes like atropine and pralidoxime.
What should I do for a snakebite?
Keep the person calm and still. Remove jewellery and tight clothing. Do not try to suck out venom or apply a tourniquet. Immobilise the affected limb and keep it below heart level. Seek medical attention immediately. Try to identify or remember the snake's appearance for antivenom selection.
What treatments are available for poisoning?
Treatment depends on the poison: gastric decontamination (lavage, activated charcoal), specific antidotes (atropine, naloxone, antivenom), supportive care (IV fluids, ventilation), and managing complications. Not all poisons have antidotes, so supportive care is crucial.
How can poisoning be prevented?
Prevention tips: store medicines and chemicals out of children's reach, keep pesticides in locked cabinets, use protective equipment when handling chemicals, properly label all containers, avoid consuming unknown plants or mushrooms, and seek immediate help if poisoning is suspected.
