ER Triage – Poisoning

from Medical Spanish Podcast Hosted by Doc Molly

What you are about to hear is an excerpt from the second member lesson in the ER Triage module of our Spanish for Emergencies course. In this lesson, we practice questions for a potential poisoning. LEVEL - INTERMEDIATE Become a member! Misma pregunta para usted, ella o él 0:43 USTED, ELLA, y ÉL share the same conjugation of the verb. Therefore… ¿Ingirió algo? = Did you ingest something? = Did s/he ingest something? USTED, ELLA, y ÉL also share the same indirect object pronoun, LE. Therefore… ¿Le duele la cabeza? = Does your head hurt? = Does her/his head hurt? Envenenamiento 2:26 El veneno The poison El envenenamiento / la intoxicación The poisoning Cuidado con la palabra intoxicación 2:56 La intoxicación se refiere a la presencia de una sustancia en el cuerpo que le hace daño. Puede intoxicarse con un producto de limpieza, una droga, un medicamento, alcohol, un alimento echado a perder o incluso un antígeno, en el caso de una alergia. Exposición a sustancias nocivas 3:46 una sustancia venenosa / tóxica / nociva a poisonous / toxic / harmful substance DAÑINO/A can also be used to say HARMFUL. ingerir to ingest inhalar to inhale estar expuesto/a (a) to be exposed (to) tener contacto con la piel to have contact with the skin Preguntas 5:00 ¿Estuvo expuesta a alguna sustancias nociva? Was she exposed to a harmful substance? ¿Estuvo expuesto a algún veneno? Was he exposed to a poison? ¿Lo inhaló? Did she inhale it? ¿Lo ingirió? Did she ingest it? When we conjugate INGERIR in the preterite tense, the E > I for the third person conjugations. Él / Ella / Usted ingirió… Ellos / Ellas / Ustedes ingirieron… ¿Tuvo contacto con su piel? Did it have contact with her skin? Note, in Spanish, when the subject = “it,” we rarely mention it. It is simply understood. a propósito on purpose ¿Lo ingirió a propósito? Did you ingest it on purpose? por accidente by/on accident ¿Lo inhaló por accidente? Did she inhale it by accident? ¿Ingirió algún veneno? Did he ingest a poison? ¿Inhaló alguna sustancia tóxica?
