Excerpt from the issue...
Just as you start your shift, a toddler is brought into the pediatric ED. An hour earlier he had ingested a single tablet of his grandmother’s glipizide. The child is asymptomatic, shows no signs of distress, and is playful. On initial fingerstick his blood glucose is 95 mg/dL. The nursing staff reminds you that you have a full waiting room, the hospital has no beds, and the mother is eager to leave because the boy’s older sibling will be getting home from school within the hour.
In the ED, clinicians routinely manage children with potential poisoning. We will review a select number of common toxins and discuss their respective treatments.
