PY - 2015 T2 - Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, 10e AB - Phone calls to poison centers regarding childhood exposures to xenobiotics are more frequent than those regarding any other age group. Because of this and the frequent role of poisoning as a cause of pediatric injury, pediatricians have been active for many years in helping to establish and promote the study of medical toxicology, as well as in establishing and supporting the use of regional poison centers. Although the basic approaches to the medical management of toxicologic problems outlined in Chaps. 3 and 4 are generally applicable to both children and adults, issues such as child abuse by poisoning are of particular concern. This chapter provides a perspective on the application of generally accepted toxicologic principles for children.
