Chloroform poisoning

Chloroform is an organic chemical that can cause poisoning if inhaled. The main symptoms of chloroform poisoning:

1. Nausea, gastrointestinal upset
2. Drowsiness
3. Dizziness
4. Loss of coordination

For mild chloroform poisoning, it is recommended:

1. Give strong coffee
2. Take stimulants - wine, sniff ammonia
3. Pour cold water over your head

These measures will help with minor poisoning. However, in more severe cases, when drowsiness persists, it is necessary to urgently call a doctor. The doctor will perform a gastric lavage to remove the poison.

Hospitalization may also be required for observation and treatment. Chloroform poisoning is life-threatening, so if symptoms appear, you should immediately seek medical help. With timely treatment, the prognosis for chloroform poisoning is generally favorable.
