Atropine autoinjectors for pesticide poisoning in ambulances
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether ambulance staff can safely give atropine (a life-saving medicine) using autoinjectors to patients poisoned by pesticides in Sri Lanka. Researchers will interview ambulance workers, hospital doctors, nurses, and patients to see how well this approach works.
