1. Induce vomiting.
2. Perform gastric lavage with a 1:5000 potassium permanganate solution.
3. Administer 50mL of 50% sodium sulfate orally as a laxative.
4. For severe cases with severe vomiting and diarrhea, there is no need to use a laxative after gastric lavage. Instead, administer 10g of magnesium oxide, 10g of tannic acid, and 20g of medicinal charcoal mixed with warm water into a paste and take it orally. If there is no bowel movement, a 2% saline enema can be used for high-level irrigation and laxative effect.
5. Use high doses of atropine to counteract the excitation of the vagus nerve. The specific dosage depends on the severity of the poisoning. For mild cases, administer it subcutaneously or intramuscularly, and for severe cases, administer it intravenously. The usual dosage is 0.5-1 mg every 2-4 hours. The dosage may be increased and the administration interval shortened for severe poisoning.
6. Administer 5% or 10% glucose solution to promote the excretion of toxins.
7. If shock, arrhythmia, seizures, metabolic acidosis, or other symptoms are present, provide symptomatic treatment.
8. Some severe patients may undergo blood purification therapy to completely remove toxins from the body.
9. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be performed for patients in the recovery period.
