Description
Some poisons strike the heart, and harm can turn grave fast if staff miss the warning signs. Heba Lashin and co-authors build a scoring chart for that risk in a 2024 study at an Egyptian poison center. Their chart, called a nomogram, turns bedside measures into a risk score for bad heart events in the hospital.
The team tracked 186 poisoned patients for a year, and 36 percent had a bad heart event. Six signs drove the score, from shock index and blood gas values to traces of the heart's electric signal. The chart sorted risk with high accuracy in their tests. A tool like this can help staff spot who needs close watch and early care.
