Efectividad de tratamientos aplicados para disminuir la concentración de plomo en sangre en personal que labora en una fábrica de producción de baterías para automóviles

Abstract

Lead is found in batteries, vehicle radiators, pipes and some paints, metal bullets, ceramics, and many other products. Workers in about 120 occupations use lead, which, if not handled properly, can cause serious health problems. Objectives: Know the treatments commonly used in companies to reduce the concentration of lead in the blood of exposed workers. Define the perception of effectiveness of treatment with intravenous B complex, applied to exposed workers, to reduce lead in blood. Define the perception of effectiveness of the citrus diet treatment, applied to exposed workers, to reduce lead in blood.Method: This study proposal suggests that by reviewing the data obtained from the records of laboratory tests, blood lead concentration, of the last 5 years, carried out in exposed workers, the effectiveness of the treatment through the application of intravenous B complex is known versus citrus diet app. The minimum periodicity of preventive medical control will be annual and additional, a. When requested by an exposed worker who claims to be suffering from signs or symptoms commonly attributed to lead poisoning. b. When three months have elapsed since the worker's incorporation into a job with a risk of potential exposure to lead. Results: By applying treatment to personnel exposed to lead, blood lead levels decrease. No specific therapy is known, so cessation of exposure and symptomatic treatment have been recommended. If lead poisoning occurs, agitation can be controlled with sedation and maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance.
