1-38511974 - The reporter, a healthcare professional, indicated that an adult male was exposed to a rodenticide containing the active ingredient diphacinone and to other unidentified non-company products. At the time of the initial call, the reporter was treating an adult, mentally disturbed male who two hours prior to the initial call told the paramedics that he had ingested 4 to 5 boxes of rodenticide in an attempt to commit self-harm. When the paramedics found the patient he was delirious, he became unresponsive and at the time of the call he was on a respirator. The reporter indicated that the patient did not have any underlying liver or blood clotting concerns. The reporter was advised that the described symptoms are not consistent with exposure to a rodenticide. The reporter indicated that the patient did take other unidentified products. Gastrointestinal decontamination was recommended as well as INR blood testing 24 to 72 hours after the exposure followed by treatment with vitamin K1 as needed. No further information could be provided on follow-up attempts. No further information is available.
