Of the four avenues of poisoning, generally, injection is the most worrisome in terms of treatment to the EMS provider. Emergency care for patient who has been poisoned may include a range of actions from reassuring an anxious parent to instituting CPR. The most important treatment for poisoning is diluting and/or physically removing the poisonous agent. How you do this depends on how the poison gets into the patient's body in the first place.
