Arthroscopic
ACL surgical treatment is done to repair a partially or completely torn
anterior cruciate ligament(ACL). ACL wounds account for about 40% of
all sporting injuries and can lead to long-term pain and instability.
There are two types of ACL knee surgery commonly performed depending on
the severity of the damage, ACL repair surgery or an ACL reconstruction.
In
most cases, ACL knee surgery is performed arthroscopically these days.
Through Small holes, a special camera and Surgical tools are inserted
into the knee in this Arthroscopic surgical process.
It is usually
referred to as "keyhole surgery". The big advantage is that the surgeon
can assess the joint and repair any injuries without fully opening the
joint. This speeds up recovery due to less trauma to the knee.
What Is An ACL Injury?
Arthroscopic
ACL surgery is recommended when there is significant damage to the ACL.
The ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) is one of a pair of ligaments in
the mid of the knee joint, responsible to provide stability. It is a
very strong ligament but if it gets overstressed, the fibres start to
tear. With enough force, it can rupture completely.
ACL injuries are generally caused by:
1) Sudden, awkward movements of the knee e.g. winding the knee or overextending it
2) Direct blow: to the outside of the knee when the foot is fixed to the ground e.g. in sportsmen wearing studs
3 grades of ACL injury:
Grade 1: The ligament is overstretched and less than 10% of the fibres are torn. Should heal naturally in a few weeks.
Grade
2: Ligaments are intact when most of the fibres are torn. May heal with
a rehab programme or may require arthroscopic ACL surgery.
Grade 3: The ligament is completely ruptured i.e. torn in two. Usually requires arthroscopic knee surgery.
Types of Arthroscopic ACL Surgery
Arthroscopic ACL surgery is performed to resume the stability of the knees.
2 types of Operation to treat ACL injuries and both are done arthroscopically.
1) ACL Repair Surgery:
Arthroscopic
ACL repair surgery is performed when the muscle is broken off from the
bone (called as an avulsion). The ligament is reattached to the bone and
held in place. Repair is sometimes done if the ligament is partially
torn. The surgeon sews the ligament back together in order to heal.
However, there is a high failure rate so in most cases, it is better to
go for a reconstruction than repair.
2) ACL Reconstruction:
If
there is more significant damage or ongoing problems with pain and
instability, the torn muscle is removed and replaced with an implant,
generally taken from your hamstring or patellar tendon.
A reconstruction is much more common than a repair.
Preparing for Surgery
Performing
Operation too quickly is coupled with an increased failure rate due to
re-rupture of the new transplant. Your Physician will probably want you
to wait until:
1) The swelling is reduced
2) You regain full range of movement at the knee
3) You build up the strength of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles
They
may refer you to physio before your operation to urge you started a
rehab programme. This will also have a positive impact on the recovery
process.
What Happens During Surgery?
With both forms of
arthroscopic ACL surgery, 2 or 3 small slits are made at the side of the
knee. A special camera (known as an arthroscope) is inserted through
one hole so that the surgeon can see the level of the damage. Special
tools (such as scissors or lasers) are then inserted through the other
hole and used to repair or replace any damaged tissue.
What Happens After Surgery?
Arthroscopic
ACL surgery is not a fast fix. Both procedures require a few months of
rehab to make up the strength and stability of the knee.
Do I Need Surgery?
Many
people recover from ACL injuries without any need for arthroscopic ACL
surgery, even some people with the completely ruptured ligament. It
essentially comes down to 2 things, how severely the stability of the
knee has been affected and what activities the affected individual does
to become normal.
Arthroscopic ACL surgery is therefore indicated in individuals who:
a) want to return to pivoting sports e.g. football, skiing, tennis, rugby, boxing or hockey
b) suffer problems of instability with their knee giving way during their everyday activities
Alternatives to Surgery
Not
everybody whose ligament ruptures goes for an arthroscopic ACL surgery.
Exercise rehabilitation for fully or a partially torn ACL appears to
make up the strength of the knee ligaments so that they can supply
enough stability and support for the knee to compensate for the torn
ACL. It additionally helps train the muscles and other ligaments to
supply proprioceptive feedback to gain more stability. It normally takes
a few months of rehab to completely recover from a torn ACL.
Wearing an ACL knee brace might facilitate support and protection to stop the knee from giving way.

Lung Transplants - Risks That You Should Be Aware Of
A
lung transplant is achieved with a surgical procedure in which the
failing lung of the patient is replaced with a healthy lung of a
deceased donor. A lung transplant is usually the last resort after all
other methods and procedures fail to make an improvement in the
patient's health. Depending on the patient's condition one or both the
lungs are replaced with healthier ones, in some cases, a heart
transplant also takes place with the lung transplant. A variety of
disease and conditions are capable of damaging your lung and when the
lungs are damaged the oxygen supply is hindered which makes it very
difficult to maintain a day to day routine of the person.
A lung transplant is not an easy treatment, it is not everyone and certain things about a patient are suggestive of the fact that he/she is not a good candidate for the transplant. Every patient is examined individually to make the transplant a success. Complications can arise in a lung transplant and it can be fatal for the patient, there are some risks associated with a lung transplant:
1. Rejection - This is one of the major risks in lung transplant. Our immune system defends us against whatever it perceives as a foreign element invading our body. If the immune system perceives the lung as something foreign then it will attack it which can result in a lung failure. This danger is highest after the transplant and reduces with time. Some drugs are given to the patient to prevent this organ rejection.
2. Anti-Rejection Drugs - Medication is given to the patient to prevent this rejection of lungs by the immune system and, there are some cases where these drugs prove to be fatal because of their side effects. These drugs, called "immunosuppressants", can be usual like weight gain, stomach problems and acne but these can also develop new conditions and can cause blood clots, kidney damage and even cancer.
3. Infection - These anti-rejection drugs, if worked properly, will suppress your immune system which makes you further vulnerable to the infections and not surprisingly this vulnerability is most intense in the lungs. You have to be extra careful to be safe and have to cultivate habits like regularly washing your hands, brushing your teeth and protecting your skin from any scratches.
It is very important that you don't ignore any instruction from your doctor and follow everything strictly for a healthy recovery. Your doctor will instruct you to make some lifestyle choices like eating healthy and quitting smoking and all you have to do is follow them.

Varicosities: What They Are And What You Need To Know About Them
"I'm
sorry, sir, but you've got varicosities. They're not dangerous, but
they will impact your life in different ways." Now, if you didn't know
that a varicosity was another term for varicose veins, would that just
absolutely scare the living daylights out of you?
Herein lies one of the more difficult issues plaguing the healthcare system in this country - it's the lack of straightforwardness. Then again, how many times have you looked at your doctor make a note and not been able to read one word? Maybe being a bit in the dark is just a thing to work through.
But when it comes to varicosities, you don't really have a lot to worry about, which is kind of nice. They may not be the worst thing in the world, but it really does become a drag when you think about how they look. Most of us remember older female relatives walking around with striations on their legs that just looked painful. Now, you're older, and the notion of dealing with varicose veins makes you want to crawl under a rock. However, you should fight that urge and talk to your doctor about them and what options you have to get rid of them.
Here's some good information to have:
Varicosities & Varicose Veins Are The Same Thing - Between varicosity, vascular, and varicose, it's hard to keep it all straight.
Your Entire Body is Fair Game - You'll usually notice them most in the legs, but varicose veins can be all over the body. If you thought some lines on your legs could be a little embarrassed about, keep in mind that some women develop vulvar varicosities.
Weaker Elasticity in Veins Comes with Age - Once a blood vessel starts feeling the effects of age, varicosities are likely to follow.
Pregnancy & Varicose Veins Are A Package Deal - Changes in blood flow occur during pregnancy, which means that a woman's body will go through more than just having a baby. Varicose veins can start developing in the legs and vulvar area. Talk with your doctor about these possibilities.
Sitting, Standing, and Carrying Extra Weight Exacerbate the Issue - Because of the sedentary lifestyle we have in the U.S., more cases of varicose veins have kicked up in recent years. The rub comes when you find out that standing for long periods of time can exert extra pressure on blood vessels in your legs, leading to varicose veins. Finally, it's important to note that while you can't always avoid how much you sit or stand, you can almost always be mindful of your weight.
Varicosities are nothing to be actually frightened about mainly because they don't pose much of a threat to your health. However, every case is different, so be sure to talk with your doctor about possible treatment options if they're applicable. And just so you can be one the same page, have him or her use terms that you'll understand. It'll benefit both of you.

Spider Vein Treatment Cost May Surprise You - Here's Why
Have
you ever wondered how much a medical procedure cost before you actually
got a bill for it? This type of transparency is hard to actually find,
and for those interested in something like spider vein removal cost,
having a little bit of insight about the kind of hit their bank account
will take would be nice to know.
Spider vein treatment is important to mention because it falls into a bit of a unique middle ground that's vastly different from other procedures. Spider veins aren't usually seen as a serious condition, so it's relatively rare that there'd be a need to get rid of them for a medical reason. Usually, patients dealing with spider veins elect to get rid of them because they are embarrassed by how they look. The drawback? Now the cost of the procedure becomes part of the healthcare billing craziness we all can't stand.
It doesn't seem fair to think that you should be in the dark about how you are billed. This is most certainly the case when you will be billed in vastly different ways based on the way your procedure is coded in the hospital billing department. Regardless of the reason for removing your spider veins, you should at least have a basic understanding what treatment may cost you.
You will need to keep in mind the following:
No two patient costs will be the same
Multiple treatment sessions to may be needed for your desired results
Your health insurance may dictate whether a procedure takes place
Depending on the severity of spider veins, the cost to remove them will be very different between patients. Different removal methods will cost different prices, and you may need a few sessions to get the results you want.
Perhaps the biggest thing to know about spider vein treatment cost is whether your current health insurance will cover the procedure(s). For the most part, spider and varicose veins are often seen by physicians as cosmetic issues, with a small percentage that can be indicative of something more serious. Because of the rather low risk associated with them, removal of these veins is thought to be more on par with an elective cosmetic procedure. Insurance companies usually don't cover these types of procedures.
As a consumer, you have rights about the information you're privy to, so get to know the ins and out of your insurance policy, and have someone really give you a thorough rundown of what you've got covered. It goes without saying, but be sure to do this prior to any procedure taking place.
The best way to know where you stand on spider vein removal is by getting a good once-over by physician. When all is said and done, the number at the bottom of your invoice may not be favorable, but compared to that of spider vein treatment cost, you might be saving some serious dough. Don't compromise your health based on your bill.

6 Awesome Tips to Get Fit While Doing Housework
Did
you know that you can burn a lot of calories doing house chores?
According to fitness experts, house chores can burn up to an average of
250 calories in an hour for a 150-lb individual. This post has
highlighted some of the ways you can use your house chores to build up a
sweat and get fit while doing housework.
1. Turn a bend into a functional exercise
Every time you are doing a chore that requires bending, turn the motion into an exercise by modifying the way you move. For instance, when picking up something from the floor, you can do it with a lunge. Or, you can do a full squat when, say, you are lifting groceries or a laundry basket.
2. Doing Laundry
Doing the laundry is a sure way to give you a great work out. It takes a lot of physical work to keep your clothes clean; from lifting up heavy laundry baskets, to lifting your arms upwards and downwards when hanging the clothes outside. Instead of using a washing machine, you can hand-wash your clothes to burn more calories and stay fit. Obviously, washing clothes by hand involves more physical activity than simply using a washing machine.
Here are other ways you can exercise to stay fit instead of using mechanized equipment:
This is another house chore that can give you a great work out. In fact, it offers you the same level of physical activity as rowing or hiking. While at it, extend the stretches of your muscles by dusting even the hard-to-reach places. Again, consider doing the whole house in one go. This way, you are sure to work up quite a sweat.
Also, while vacuuming, add some lunges to tone up your buns and legs. You can begin at one end of the house and do lunges as you vacuum over to the other side of the house. However, do your best not to lean on the vacuum cleaner, but rather rely on it for balance only.
4. Do chores that use a lot of muscles regularly
Chores, like scrubbing a wall daily, sweeping, mopping, cleaning rugs, chores that involve climbing up and down stairs several times, ironing, and dusting (especially hard-to-reach places) are strenuous activities that put a lot of muscles to use. Doing such chores regularly is sure to keep you fit.
5. Consider making a playlist of upbeat music to help you set the pace while doing chores
Scientific studies confirm that listening to fast-paced music can encourage you to make quicker moves and maximize the results of your physical activities.
Use upbeat music when doing chores like vacuuming, mopping, cleaning windows, scrubbing the walls, and other such chores.
6. Other ways to get fit while doing housework
Doing tricep dips while, say, making your bed, or climbing up and down a ladder while painting, or decorating, or doing squats while loading the dishwasher, are examples of activities that you can throw in a few exercises while doing them and working around the house.
Big changes come from small beginnings so, even making the smallest change, or implementing one simple action, can help to make you fit, especially if you make it a habit every day. When you begin to build these habits, you can slowly increase the difficulty level and try working a bit harder, but remember; it all starts with building good habits.

- Lay off blenders and choppers and use a mortar and pestle and a knife to do your food prep work.

20 Ways to Stay Fit With Minimal Effort
Getting
fit is not an easy task. It can take weeks or even months of hard
training and paying attention to what you eat. Staying fit can be even
harder. It is very common to see people meet their fitness goals and
then quickly fall off their new healthy lifestyle leading to them
reversing all of that progress that they worked so hard for. While
staying fit can be hard, there are little things we can do to make the
process easier. Try some of these tips for maintaining your fitness
level with little effort!
1. Fasting
Fasting is the restriction of food for a set period of time. Fasting can be a great way to increase your fat burn and stay lean! Try intermittent fasting by skipping breakfast and eating lunch as your first meal.
2. Go for a Walk
Taking a break or two during the day to go for a short walk can be a great way to burn some extra calories. This is especially important if you have a desk job!
3. Cutting Carbs
Low carb diets are extremely popular for weight loss and for good reason. Studies have shown that low carb dieting can be a great way to lose weight. It can also be a great strategy if you are worried about gaining weight back.
4. Play a Sport You Love
If you stop being active it will be hard to stay fit. You may not want to spend a couple of hours running on a treadmill, but picking a sport you love like basketball or ice skating can be a great way to stay active while doing an activity you love.
5. Get a Standup Desk
If you are stuck at a desk all day it can be hard to stay in good shape. If your office allows it, try a standup desk. You may be surprised at how much this can benefit your overall health just by standing and using your leg and core muscles to stay fit.
6. Try HIIT Cardio
HIIT or high intensity interval training can be a great way to burn a ton of calories without having to put a ton of time in the gym. Studies have even found that HIIT cardio can allow you to burn more calories over the course of the rest of the day.
7. Split up Your Exercises
If you are burned out on exercising, try splitting up your exercises in the morning and evening. This will allow you to spend less time in the gym per session!
8. Try Lower Calorie Desserts
Everyone wants to enjoy dessert, but if you are trying to stay fit some of these high calorie creations can be a problem. Look online for low calorie desserts so you can indulge guilt-free.
9. Switch to a Ketogenic Diet
The ketogenic diet has been shown to improve metabolism by allowing for more fat burning. This diet allows you to eat bacon and stay fit!

11. Drink Water before Your Meal
If you are coming off a diet, hunger tends to be much higher. This can lead to overeating which will make maintaining your fitness that much harder. Try drinking a big glass of water before your meal to help you feel fuller and prevent you from overeating.
12. Eat a High Protein Breakfast
Studies have found that those eating a high protein and higher fat breakfast burn more fat during the day compared to those consuming carbs. Reach for some eggs rather than that banana!
13. Eat More Fiber
Fiber can be another great way to make you feel fuller and prevent yourself from overeating. One of the best ways to get fiber is through vegetables or fiber supplement like Quest bars.
14. Get a Good Night's Sleep
This is an often overlooked aspect of health and fitness. Not getting a good night's rest can wreak havoc on your metabolism making it much easier to gain weight.
15. Use a Step Counter
Using a step counter can be a great way to see how active you are. Shoot for a step goal hit it every day to maintain your fitness.
16. Fit in 20 Minutes of Activity
Life can be busy which makes staying in shape that much harder. If you set aside time every day to be active, even for just 20 minutes, you may find that staying fit is that much easier.
17. Use a Ball Chair
Using a ball chair can help you work your core during the day while working at your desk. This way you can train your abs and still get your work done.
18. Take Your Phone Calls on the Go
If your job entails many business calls, try taking your business calls while taking a walk. A thirty-minute conference call can turn into a 30-minute walk and that can help you stay in shape!
19. Don't Pair Carbs and Fat
Plan your meals so you aren't eating a lot of carbs and fat at the same time. Research has found that this can lead fat storage which will not be beneficial for staying fit.
20. Try a Little Caffeine
Caffeine can be a great way to not only give you more energy but also burn a few more calories. If you find yourself feeling lethargic and sedentary, drink some coffee to wake up and start moving!
You've worked so hard to get fit, staying fit should not be as difficult as we often make it. Of course if you go back to a life full of junk food, sitting on the coach, and no exercise, these tips won't work for you. However, if you are still trying to life that healthy lifestyle, these tips could be just the thing to make it that much easier to stay fit!

Chemical Poisoning
Despite
taking precautions like labeling poisonous chemicals and keeping them
out of the sight and reach of children, chemical poisoning emergencies
do arise. Let us prepare ourselves for the quick and decisive action
that is called for.
Domestic chemical poisons can be divided into three categories: 1. Corrosives like acids and alkalis. 2. Petroleum products. 3. Pesticides.
There are three ways that poisonous chemicals can get into the human system and wreak their havoc. They may be taken in
If the person is conscious, look for specific symptoms of chemical poisoning like burn marks or swelling around the mouth, increased salivation, constricted pupils, a pungent smell or spray paint on the face and hands. (Many non-specific symptoms like vomiting, mental confusion, breathlessness, convulsions and even coma may be mistaken for other acute illnesses.)
Though, in most cases, antidotes are indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging of domestic products that can cause poisoning, they are not always accurate or adequate. Nevertheless, locating the container helps in ascertaining the nature of the poisonous chemical so that suitable first aid measures can be taken.
The specific measures depend upon the category in which the chemical falls:
CORROSIVES
ACIDS
Some acids in common domestic use are: hydrochloric acid, bleach (sodium hypochlorite and oxalic acid), toilet bowl cleaner (sulphuric acid), and phenyl (carbolic acid).
Symptoms of acid poisoning: Scalding, and hence a burning pain around the lips and the mouth, palate, the tongue and, most probably, the hands. Acids act on clothes by completely eating them away, giving the impression that holes have been cut out. The person may also cough and get breathless.
How to treat:
DON'T
If the person begins to vomit, turn his head to one side to allow the vomitus to drain out so that it does not enter the airway.
If the person is convulsing, keep calm and place a padded object such as handkerchief between his teeth to prevent him from biting his tongue or cheek. Don not force his jaw open if he has already clamped it shut. Loosen tight clothing. Once the convulsive movements stop, turn him on his side to allow his tongue to fall forward and excess saliva to drain out of his mouth.
If the person is in shock, the symptoms will include: shallow breathing, weak pulse, nausea and vomiting, shivering, pale, moist skin, dropping eyelids, dilated pupils, mental confusion and even collapse. Keep the victim lying down and elevate his feet by about 12 inches. Maintain normal body temperature. Give nothing by mouth.
If the person is conscious and is not convulsing, quickly give about three tablespoons of vegetable oil, or milk cream, or melted butter or the white of an egg. They partly neutralize the acid and form a protective coating along the lining of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach to prevent further damage.
If the acid has entered the eyes and the person wears contact lenses, remove the lenses first and flush with plenty of water. If only one eye is contaminated, turn the head so that the injured side is down and flood the inner corner with cool water for at least five minutes. Or, hold the eye under a stream of cold water from a tap, making sure the acid does not wash into the other eye. Cover with clean gauze but not with absorbent cotton (the fibres can get lodged in the eye.)
Similarly, wash off any acid from the skin with plenty of water preferably under a tap or shower.
Remove contaminated clothing. Rush the person to the hospital to minimize late complications like narrowing of the esophagus which involves long-term surgical measures for correction.
Alkalis
In the domestic setting, these may be found in drain cleaners (sodium hydroxide), button batteries (sodium and potassium hydroxide), and products containing ammonia.
Symptoms: Since alkalis are also corrosive, the symptoms will be the same as in the case of acids, only the membranes of the mouth appear white and swollen, instead of scalded.
How to treat:
The action to be taken is also similar, only don't five an acid in the hope of neutralizing the alkali as its corrosive action will worsen the damage.
Button batteries if swallowed are removable with a gastroscope (inserted into the stomach through the mouth) or through surgery.
PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
These include gasoline, kerosene, benzene, lighter fluid, furniture polish and paraffin.
Symptoms: Burning irritation in the throat, coughing, breathlessness and possibly shock.
DON'T
Treat for shock, if necessary.
Only the absence of the symptoms listed above (an indication that a small quantity has been ingested) should the person be inducted to vomit.
As there is no specific antidote, it's important to take the person to a hospital as soon as possible.
PESTICIDES
These fall into two categories:
How to treat:
If the person has difficulty breathing, give mouth-to-mouth respiration.
Induce vomiting by giving two glasses of water with at least two teaspoonful of common salt stirred into each glass. If the person does not vomit, give more of this solution until he vomits and the vomitus stops smelling of the poison. Children who cannot easily be induced to drink such a solution should be forced to vomit by pressing a finger down their throat.
Collect the vomitus and take it, along with the container of the product, to the hospital.
Do not delay transporting the victim. As the chemical stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, it brings on increased motility (movements) of the gastrointestinal tract, and if the poison travels from the stomach to the small bowel it will cause further damage.
WHEN POISONS ARE INHALED:
Chemical poisoning can be caused by inhaling gases such as carbon monoxide, volatile liquids like gasoline, turpentine and paints, or the fumes from acids or from pesticides such as cockroach and mosquito repellents or DDT.
Carbon monoxide collects due to incomplete combustion of gasoline in a car, particularly when it is left in a closed garage with its motor running; or when heating equipment, including gas ranges, are used in poorly-ventilated rooms.
Signs and Symptoms: Coughing
Rapid or slow pulse
Irritation or burning of the eyes
A burning sensation in the mouth, nose, throat and chest
A burning or itching in the underarms, groin and other moist areas of the body
Severe headache
Nausea and vomiting
Another helpful indication is the presence of spray paint or other substances on the person's face.
However, it is important to realize that carbon monoxide, being odourless and tasteless, will give rise to practically no symptoms except headache. It may, however, cause the lips and cheeks of a fair-skinned victim to turn red.
How to treat:
Take a gulp of fresh air before entering a dangerously-polluted room.
Get the person away from the contaminated air and into fresh, clean air.
If the person is not breathing, begin mouth-to-mouth respiration promptly.
If he is conscious and breathing, ask him to take deep, slow breaths.
Loosen his clothing, using minimal contact, so as to avoid getting skin burns.
Get the person to a hospital a soon as possible.
WHEN POISONS ARE ABSORBED:
Poisonous chemicals which fall in this category include organophosphorus compounds (cockroach and bug repellents), fungicides, rodent poison, wood preservatives, paints, varnishes, paint thinners, waxes and polishes, motor oil and de-greasers and aerosols (spray insecticides). Absorbed poisons usually irritate or damage the skin. However, if they are highly concentrated and absorbed in large amounts, they can enter the blood-stream via the blood vessels under the skin and bring on the same symptoms as if the poisons were ingested.
Symptoms: Skin reactions from mild irritation to burns.
Itching
Irritation of the eyes
Headache
How to treat:
Carefully brush off any dry chemicals from the skin.
Wash the areas exposed to the poison with plenty of water. Remove all contaminated clothing, shoes and accessories, including jewellery, wrist watch, etc.
Then, once again wash the affected areas with soap and water.
Transport the person to a hospital.

Domestic chemical poisons can be divided into three categories: 1. Corrosives like acids and alkalis. 2. Petroleum products. 3. Pesticides.
There are three ways that poisonous chemicals can get into the human system and wreak their havoc. They may be taken in
- through the mouth (ingested)
- through the nose (inhaled) or
- through the skin (absorbed)
If the person is conscious, look for specific symptoms of chemical poisoning like burn marks or swelling around the mouth, increased salivation, constricted pupils, a pungent smell or spray paint on the face and hands. (Many non-specific symptoms like vomiting, mental confusion, breathlessness, convulsions and even coma may be mistaken for other acute illnesses.)
Though, in most cases, antidotes are indicated by the manufacturer on the packaging of domestic products that can cause poisoning, they are not always accurate or adequate. Nevertheless, locating the container helps in ascertaining the nature of the poisonous chemical so that suitable first aid measures can be taken.
The specific measures depend upon the category in which the chemical falls:
CORROSIVES
ACIDS
Some acids in common domestic use are: hydrochloric acid, bleach (sodium hypochlorite and oxalic acid), toilet bowl cleaner (sulphuric acid), and phenyl (carbolic acid).
Symptoms of acid poisoning: Scalding, and hence a burning pain around the lips and the mouth, palate, the tongue and, most probably, the hands. Acids act on clothes by completely eating them away, giving the impression that holes have been cut out. The person may also cough and get breathless.
How to treat:
DON'T
- Induce vomiting by pressing a finger down the throat or making the person drink saline water: the convulsive movements of vomiting put a strain on the walls of the stomach and may perforate it. If the stomach gets perforated and the acid leaks into the peritoneal (abdominal) cavity, it could prove fatal. Besides, if vomiting is induced, on its return journey up the esophageal tract, the acid will compound the damage.
- Give an alkali (like soda bicarb) in the hope of neutralizing the acid. The equally corrosive alkali will aggravate the damage done by the acid. Besides, the chemical reaction that takes place between the two will release carbon dioxide which will bloat the stomach and increase the chances of peroration.
If the person begins to vomit, turn his head to one side to allow the vomitus to drain out so that it does not enter the airway.
If the person is convulsing, keep calm and place a padded object such as handkerchief between his teeth to prevent him from biting his tongue or cheek. Don not force his jaw open if he has already clamped it shut. Loosen tight clothing. Once the convulsive movements stop, turn him on his side to allow his tongue to fall forward and excess saliva to drain out of his mouth.
If the person is in shock, the symptoms will include: shallow breathing, weak pulse, nausea and vomiting, shivering, pale, moist skin, dropping eyelids, dilated pupils, mental confusion and even collapse. Keep the victim lying down and elevate his feet by about 12 inches. Maintain normal body temperature. Give nothing by mouth.
If the person is conscious and is not convulsing, quickly give about three tablespoons of vegetable oil, or milk cream, or melted butter or the white of an egg. They partly neutralize the acid and form a protective coating along the lining of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus and stomach to prevent further damage.
If the acid has entered the eyes and the person wears contact lenses, remove the lenses first and flush with plenty of water. If only one eye is contaminated, turn the head so that the injured side is down and flood the inner corner with cool water for at least five minutes. Or, hold the eye under a stream of cold water from a tap, making sure the acid does not wash into the other eye. Cover with clean gauze but not with absorbent cotton (the fibres can get lodged in the eye.)
Similarly, wash off any acid from the skin with plenty of water preferably under a tap or shower.
Remove contaminated clothing. Rush the person to the hospital to minimize late complications like narrowing of the esophagus which involves long-term surgical measures for correction.
Alkalis
In the domestic setting, these may be found in drain cleaners (sodium hydroxide), button batteries (sodium and potassium hydroxide), and products containing ammonia.
Symptoms: Since alkalis are also corrosive, the symptoms will be the same as in the case of acids, only the membranes of the mouth appear white and swollen, instead of scalded.
How to treat:
The action to be taken is also similar, only don't five an acid in the hope of neutralizing the alkali as its corrosive action will worsen the damage.
Button batteries if swallowed are removable with a gastroscope (inserted into the stomach through the mouth) or through surgery.
PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
These include gasoline, kerosene, benzene, lighter fluid, furniture polish and paraffin.
Symptoms: Burning irritation in the throat, coughing, breathlessness and possibly shock.
DON'T
- Induce vomiting as the poison could enter the lungs via the windpipe on its way up and induce chemical pneumonia.
- Give water. Petroleum products, because of their low density, float on water, which increases the chances of their entering the lungs and causing chemical pneumonia.
Treat for shock, if necessary.
Only the absence of the symptoms listed above (an indication that a small quantity has been ingested) should the person be inducted to vomit.
As there is no specific antidote, it's important to take the person to a hospital as soon as possible.
PESTICIDES
These fall into two categories:
- Organophosphorus compounds. All cockroach and bug repellents come in this category.
- This category includes DDT (an organochlorine insecticide), moth repellent, also called naphthalene balls (hydrocarbons), and rodenticides or rat poison (phosphide).
How to treat:
If the person has difficulty breathing, give mouth-to-mouth respiration.
Induce vomiting by giving two glasses of water with at least two teaspoonful of common salt stirred into each glass. If the person does not vomit, give more of this solution until he vomits and the vomitus stops smelling of the poison. Children who cannot easily be induced to drink such a solution should be forced to vomit by pressing a finger down their throat.
Collect the vomitus and take it, along with the container of the product, to the hospital.
Do not delay transporting the victim. As the chemical stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, it brings on increased motility (movements) of the gastrointestinal tract, and if the poison travels from the stomach to the small bowel it will cause further damage.
WHEN POISONS ARE INHALED:
Chemical poisoning can be caused by inhaling gases such as carbon monoxide, volatile liquids like gasoline, turpentine and paints, or the fumes from acids or from pesticides such as cockroach and mosquito repellents or DDT.
Carbon monoxide collects due to incomplete combustion of gasoline in a car, particularly when it is left in a closed garage with its motor running; or when heating equipment, including gas ranges, are used in poorly-ventilated rooms.
Signs and Symptoms: Coughing
Rapid or slow pulse
Irritation or burning of the eyes
A burning sensation in the mouth, nose, throat and chest
A burning or itching in the underarms, groin and other moist areas of the body
Severe headache
Nausea and vomiting
Another helpful indication is the presence of spray paint or other substances on the person's face.
However, it is important to realize that carbon monoxide, being odourless and tasteless, will give rise to practically no symptoms except headache. It may, however, cause the lips and cheeks of a fair-skinned victim to turn red.
