abstract="Background. Acute pediatric poisonings represent an emergency pathology that associates a significant risk of adverse outcome or death. The increased incidence reported by antitoxic centers is a public health problem and requires implementing prevention strategies. Material and method. The six-years study targets children diagnosed with acute poisoning complicated by cardiogenic shock in a pediatric toxicology unit, performing a descriptive analysis of the epidemiological characteristics of the group. Aim. To provide statistical data that can represent the basis of preventive measures carried out by health services. <br><br>RESULTS. The incidence of severe intentional poisonings complicated by cardiogenic shock is almost twice as high as accidental ones. A strong correlation was identified between intentional poisonings and adolescent girls. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS. The detailed epidemiological data allows targeted intervention measures to prevent suicide attempts and decrease the incidence of accidental exposures among the pediatric population. © Amaltea Medical Publishing House.
