Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Emergency Medicine
  • Toxicology
  • Clinical Case Reports

Background:

  • Intoxication is a leading cause of pediatric emergency department admissions.
  • The incidence of iron poisoning is rising due to the widespread availability of iron supplements.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on five pediatric cases of acute iron ingestion.
  • To highlight the importance of timely management in iron poisoning.

Main Methods:

  • Case series of five pediatric patients admitted for iron ingestion.
  • Treatment included gastric lavage, whole bowel irrigation for significant iron doses (>50 mg/kg), and deferoxamine when indicated.

Main Results:

  • Management strategies were applied to pediatric patients with acute iron poisoning.
  • The study involved five distinct cases requiring emergency intervention.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt recognition and treatment are paramount in managing pediatric iron poisoning.
  • Effective management can significantly decrease morbidity and mortality associated with iron-containing products.
