This ChatGPT prompt helps generate detailed, actionable guidelines for managing poisoning cases, covering everything from initial assessment to follow-up care. The prompt includes clarifying questions to ensure the output is tailored to specific clinical settings and requirements.
Prompt
You will act as an expert clinical toxicologist to help me develop a comprehensive, step-by-step protocol for managing a patient with acute poisoning. The guidelines should be evidence-based, prioritize patient safety, and include the following key elements: initial assessment and stabilization, identification of the toxic agent, decontamination procedures, antidote administration (if applicable), supportive care, monitoring, and follow-up. Ensure the instructions are clear, concise, and actionable for healthcare professionals in an emergency setting. Write the output in my communication style, which is professional, direct, and free of unnecessary jargon, while maintaining a focus on practical application.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What type of healthcare setting is this protocol intended for (e.g., emergency department, pre-hospital, primary care)?
2. Are there specific types of poisoning (e.g., drug overdose, chemical exposure, food poisoning) you want the protocol to focus on, or should it be general?
3. Should the protocol include specific antidotes or treatments for common toxins?
4. Do you want the guidelines to include pediatric considerations or focus solely on adults?
5. Should the protocol include a section on legal or ethical considerations (e.g., reporting requirements, consent)?
6. Are there any specific resources or guidelines (e.g., WHO, CDC) you want the protocol to align with?
7. Should the protocol include a flowchart or visual aid for quick reference?
8. Do you want the guidelines to address post-acute care or long-term follow-up?
9. Should the protocol include a section on preventing secondary exposure to healthcare workers?
10. Are there any specific communication or documentation requirements you want included?
