The director of Sop Moei Hospital reveals that basic antivenoms are in stock. Ready to care in the event of an emergency If we are far away and need to use advanced anti-venom, we have a Sky Doctor network to help coordinate and transport poison centers in time. After a case involving a 5-year-old child exposed to cyanide
From the news that a 5-year-old boy fainted and was sent to the hospital for “cyanide poisoning” after drinking a silver-soaking liquid. Help was sought from all relevant agencies until it was safe. The post praised the work of the Kun Yuam Hospital team, who drove doctors and nurses with the children to the Ramathibodi Toxicology Center, and the Sri Sangwan Hospital of Mae Hong Son Province, which brought anti-venom (sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate) to meet them halfway. Administer anti-venom in the ambulance midway and then take the child to the ICU for further care.
Director of Sop Moei Hospital, Mae Hong Son Province, Dr. Pittaya Lawong, interviewed on preparing to book anti-venom during a discussion with Pharmacists Organization (PPO) executives about drug management in remote areas of Sop Moei Hospital: Sop Moei Hospital is a small community hospital. But basic alternatives exist. At the same time, we also work as a network with the poison center, pharmacists and emergency room nurses. If you come across a case of a patient who has been exposed to toxic substances there will be coordination throughout. And if it is basic antidote then the reserved hospitals can provide immediate relief to patients. But if it's an advanced medicine, Sop Moei Hospital doesn't have one. It takes 20 minutes to transport a patient to Mae Sariang Hospital.
“The good thing is that there is a Sky Doctor system today if there is a real need. We will coordinate and request the use of the Sky Doctor as a helicopter to take us. The relationship between Sop Moei Hospital and several host hospitals is good with each other to transport patients to more capable service units. If there is an emergency, They can coordinate to ask for help,” said the director of Sop Moei Hospital.
From past news, Dr Pitaya said Sop Moei Hospital has developed a system to reserve antivenom. Are there any additional pre-booked medications to consider? I would like to reiterate that in the event of an emergency, if we encounter a patient who requires an alternative medication, and if it is not available, there will be coordination and coordination of all. Departments that assist the patient are fast
