    CONTINENTAL MEDICAL COLLEGE
    Scenario: You are working as medical officer in the emergency department of district head
    equator. Middle age unconscious woman was brought to hospital the person accompanying
    the patient give the history, he suspect that female was sexual assault after which she
    swallowed bleach of toilet cleaning liquid in an attempt to commit suicide. He also found
    about a dark brown colored vomitus present on bed when the female was lying. On the
    blood test hypocalcemia.

    Q1: How will you manage the patient please enumerate the general principle of the
    management of the patient?

    Ans: We will manage the patient by the following

     Manage air way


     Manage breathing
     Manage circulation
     Stomach wash
     Use of antidote
     Symptomatic treatment
     Check the vital sign
     Elimination of absorbed poison

    Q2: What specific treatment on this type of poisoning write in detail?

    Ans: Stomach wash with lime water, warm water should not be used for stomach wash as it
    may dissolve more acid. The antidote for oxalate poisoning is any calcium preparation which
    converts the poison into insoluble calcium oxalate. A suspension of 30 gram of chalk in water
    or milk will neutralize about 20 gram of oxalic acid. Alkalis such as soda, potash or ammonia,
    should not be given as their oxalates, are soluble. Calcium gluconate may be given by mouth
    or 10 ml of 10% solution IV. In severe cases parathyroid extract should be given. The rest of
    treatment is symptomatic.

    Q3: As this was a case of sexual assault which biological trace evidence will you collect
    from the victim body and why do you select that evidence? Explain each in detail.

    sent by the investigating officer, should be collected and preserved, for grouping. About 2-3
    ml of blood is sufficient.

    Nails:

    Nails scratched during the struggle, should be carefully clipped without damaging the underling
    tissue of the persons concerned, and are scraped with the help of tooth prick and collected in
    separate envelops. In case of suspected posing all the nails should be removed entire and
    collected in separate envelops.

    Hair:

    Hair sample are required for specific origin, grouping, and identification. In sexual offences

    smears on slides for microscopic examination. Swabs should be taken on sterile gauze cloth
    and their smears prepared on sterile slides these should be dried in air and the swabs dispatched
