Abstract

Several variables must be considered in the treatment of a poisoned child, including the particular substance, the individual child, and the child's home environment. General principles of treatment are described, and the management of particular substances, including household cleaning products, petroleum distillate hydrocarbons, and salicylates, is detailed. The family should not leave the emergency room without instruction on prevention of poisoning.
