| Abstract |
In the treatment of paraquat poisoning the first aim is to clear the gastrointestinal tract by inducing emesis and performing gastric/gut lavage; as much activated charcoal as possible should be administered per os as quickly as possible. Haemoperfusion with coated activated charcoal is the best way to eliminate paraquat from blood and tissue. This should be performed about 8 hours per day over a period of 2-3 weeks. These measures provide a means of reducing the lethality of paraquat poisoning. |
