Abstract
Acute poisoning in children is closely related with the surrounding environment. In China,acute poisoning in children,mainly caused by wrong intake of pesticides,drugs and rodenticide,still leads to high mortality in severe acute poisoning cases. Particular emphasis on safe storage of drugs and toxic chemicals mentioned above may reduce poisoning accidents at the source. Of the suspected poisoning cases, besides the detailed medical history and physical examination, poison identification is the most direct and objective method to confirm the diagnosis and evaluate the poisoning severity. Timely diagnosis, appropriate antidote use, extensive application of blood purification therapy, and emphasis on supportive therapy remain critical for the successful treatment. Accurate and comprehensive clinical epidemiological data are considered to be of informative value to identifying poisoning of different regions, ages and sexes.
