Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Toxicology
  • Public Health
  • Clinical Pediatrics

Background:

  • Poisoning remains a significant cause of pediatric hospital admissions.
  • Understanding common etiological agents and demographics is crucial for prevention.
  • Phenothiazine toxicity presents a specific concern in pediatric poisoning cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the trends and characteristics of pediatric poisoning cases over a six-year period.
  • To identify the most common poisoning agents and contributing factors.
  • To evaluate the role of phenothiazines in pediatric poisonings and suggest safer alternatives.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 670 pediatric poisoning admissions.
  • Data collection on patient demographics, poisoning agents, and outcomes.

  • Categorization of poisoning types (accidental, iatrogenic, suicidal).

    • Main Results:

    • Poisoning accounted for 0.9% of pediatric admissions; 45% of cases were in children aged 1-4 years.
    • Medicines and chemicals were the leading agents (53%), followed by pesticides (15%) and kerosene (11.2%).
    • Accidental poisoning was most common (70%), with an overall mortality rate of 1.8%.

    Conclusions:

    • Medicines, chemicals, and pesticides are primary causes of pediatric poisoning.
    • Accidental ingestions are the predominant form of poisoning in children.
    • Judicious use of phenothiazines as antiemetics is recommended, with a shift towards less toxic alternatives.
