In this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast we’re chatting all about managing ethylene glycol toxicity.

These patients commonly present as emergencies and require very intensive nursing care - the disease carries a poor prognosis, and it’s often fatal. 

However, with rapid intervention and intensive treatment and nursing, recovery can be possible. Today, we’re talking all about what happens when a patient ingests EG, and how we can treat and nurse these patients accordingly - along with the practical skills we can use to support them.
