Question

Why should we contact medical direction early in the prehospital management of a poisoning?

Answer 1

The patient can be treated if it’s early enough after the poisoning

Answer 2

We must contact the medical management at the beginning of the pre-hospital treatment of a poisoning to have correct guidance on how to help the poisoned person.

Step-by-step explanation:

Prehospital care is emergency care in an out-of-hospital environment. In case of poisoning it is important that a pre-hospital treatment is done so that the patient is more likely to survive. For this treatment to be effective and not cause any more problems it is important to contact the medical director for instructions on what to do to help the patient.
