Can puffer fish poisoning be saved
Puffer fish poisoning timely rescue may be able to save life, eat puffer fish, if there is nausea, vomiting, headache, drooling and other phenomena, it may be puffer fish poisoning, puffer fish contains tetrodotoxin toxicity is strong, 0.5 mg tetrodotoxin can be caused by the weight of 70kg of people died. Timely treatment is needed, first of all, the patient should induce vomiting, the patient's gastrointestinal tract within the puffer fish spit out. Since there is no specific antidote, once poisoned, the mortality rate is high, and the cause of death is mainly respiratory muscle and brain stem paralysis. Inducing vomiting requires drinking large amounts of water or soapy water and then picking at the throat to induce violent vomiting. For patients who develop respiratory and circulatory failure, tracheal intubation or treatment with a ventilator is needed along with complete removal of residual toxicity from the gastrointestinal tract, and high levels of oxygen are given to keep the airway open.
Aftermath of puffer fish poisoning
The serious aftermath is that it can have adverse consequences on the peripheral nerves, and patients usually have dysfunction of the vertebral system and extra-vertebral system, which manifests itself as disorientation convulsions and unsteady walking. The most toxic parts of the puffer fish are the ovaries and liver. In mild cases of puffer fish poisoning, there are usually no typical after-effects as long as active treatment is given. Puffer fish poisoning is extremely harmful to the human body, especially the short incubation period after puffer fish poisoning, the onset of acute, severe cases of poisoning within ten minutes after the death, but for severe puffer fish poisoning, and not actively given treatment, or for the people who have obvious primary underlying diseases, if not timely treatment, will leave different degrees of sequelae. What's more, there is no specific antidote for puffer fish poisoning, and the only way to save a patient's life is to send him to the hospital in time after finding the poisoned person, to discharge the poison by gastric lavage, and to treat the symptoms.
Self-help for puffer fish poisoning
If the patient is conscious, he should immediately vomit, can use a spoon, chopsticks or fingertips to press the root of the tongue to vomit, and then drink 300-500ml of warm water.

If the patient is unconscious and his breathing and heartbeat have stopped, perform CPR immediately. The rescuer should also pay attention to self-protection when giving help.
Treatment of tetrodotoxin poisoning
Gastric lavage, vomiting and diarrhea should be performed immediately, and emergency hemodialysis and hemoperfusion treatment should be performed for 3~5 hours to remove tetrodotoxin poisoning from the body's blood, which can significantly reduce the case fatality rate. Intravenous administration of glucose, saline and other rehydration therapy to promote the excretion of toxins as soon as possible, or give furosemide injection and other diuretics static. When the patient appeared respiratory muscle paralysis, dyspnea, transcutaneous oxygen saturation decreased, should be timely tracheal intubation, mechanical ventilation, at this time the application of respiratory stimulants and scopolamine effect is not good.
