Gastrointestinal Decontamination

Previous well-established guidelines for the management of poisonous ingestions in children are undergoing significant change. The time-honored practice of syrup of ipecac-induced vomiting as the primary means of gastrointestinal decontamination now frequently yields to the administration of activated charcoal. Practitioners and emergency room physicians who are increasingly relying on advice from and participation in treatment by regional poison control centers need to understand the rationale behind what many consider contradictions to accepted teaching. A case in point was a recent letter to the American Academy of Pediatrics from a pediatrician questioning the treatment of an ingestion of poison in a toddler.

Gastrointestinal Decontamination

Gastrointestinal decontamination plays an important role in the management of poisoned patients. The use of ipecac syrup has declined, and the use of activated charcoal has increased, during the period 1983 to 1991. If an emetic is used, ipecac syrup is the emetic of choice. If gastric emptying is done in an emergency department, gastric lavage is preferred. Recent studies in animals, human volunteers, and poisoned patients suggest that activated charcoal and a cathartic is as effective, or more effective, than ipecac or lavage plus activated charcoal and a cathartic. As such, activated charcoal and a cathartic should be considered the primary decontamination procedures to be used in a hospital.
