  • The majority of ingestions can be safely managed with non-invasive methods, primarily focused on respiratory monitoring and support.

    • Conclusions:

    • Careful observation and respiratory support are key to managing most petroleum distillate ingestions.
    • Prophylactic measures like induced emesis or gastric lavage are generally not recommended due to risks of aspiration.
