Transport management of the patient with acute poisoning

Abstract

Poisoning in children is a common clinical problem encountered by pediatricians, general practitioners, and emergency room physicians. Poisoning in children less than 5 years of age is usually accidental, whereas, in young adults, any disparity between expected history and clinical findings should suggest poisoning. It is imperative that the treating physician expeditiously recognize, begin treating, and plan to transfer, when indicated, by specialized pediatric transport team the critically ill poisoned child to a tertiary care facility.
