Preventing Pediatric Poisonings WHAM

W hat risks are observed on scene? H ow can we keep from coming back? A ction to take to prevent future injuries M aterials to leave behind WHAM

Pediatric Poisoning  53% of poison exposures occur to kids under 6 y.o.  In Washington, poisoning deaths among young children are rare. However, when combined with intentional poisoning, it is the second leading cause of injury hospitalizations for children 0-17 years.  During in Pierce Co. there were 263 poison-related hospitalizations for children <18 y.o. Slightly more than half (51.7%) were intentional.

Washington Poison Center’s Top 5 Exposure Calls (2005)  Ibuprofen  Diaper care/rash products  Acetaminophen (generic Tylenol)  Anti-depressants  Hypochlorite (chlorine bleach)

The 5 “rights” of med safety  The right person  The right dose  The right medicine  The right time  The right route

You are called to a chaotic scene at a home for an elderly woman who has fallen. The patient was visiting her son and his three small children. The son suddenly realizes that he has lost track of his 2-year-old. You see the child picking some pills up off the floor. What risks are observed on scene?

How can we keep from coming back?

 Remind parent to keep all medication out of reach of children  Remind parents that even if their home is “child proofed,” grandparents’ homes and others may not be  Keep all meds and cleaning products in original containers  Inform parent of Poison Control number and information Action to take to prevent further injuries

 Utilize WHAM folder on rig  Washington Poison Center “Prevention & Treatment Guide – Poisons” (English and Spanish)  Safe Kids “Where’s Your Medicine” booklet (English and Spanish)  Washington Poison Center number stickers Materials to leave behind
