A 4-year-old girl was brought into the emergency department vomiting after having had ingested a laundry detergent capsule (LDC) from under the sink at her house. What is the risk of LDC poisoning? What can be done to treat these children?
Laundry detergent capsules are relatively new to supermarket shelves in North America, and there has been an emergence of case reports in the literature describing LDC poisoning, which is worse than poisoning from other laundry detergents. Very little is known about the mechanisms causing these severe reactions, which include airway compromise and esophageal perforation, but the attractive appearance of these capsules and easy access at home has governments and health officials concerned about an increase in poisoning. No residual problems have been associated with these cases to date; however, further research is needed to assess long-term effects.
一名 4 岁女孩因吞食放在家里水槽下的洗衣剂胶囊而被送入急诊室呕吐。洗衣剂胶囊中毒的风险有多大？可以采取什么措施来治疗这些儿童？
洗衣剂胶囊在北美超市货架上相对较新，文献中出现了一些有关洗衣剂胶囊中毒的病例报告，其毒性比其他洗衣剂更严重。导致这些严重反应的机制知之甚少，包括气道阻塞和食管穿孔，但这些胶囊外观诱人且易于在家中获取，这让政府和卫生官员担心中毒事件会增加。迄今为止，这些病例没有出现任何后遗症；然而，需要进一步研究来评估长期影响。
