Abstract: Objective:To investigate the occurrence of drug poisoning in children and analyze the causes.
Methods:Totally 106 cases of drugpoisoned children admitted to our hospital from September 2016 to September 2019 were included as the research subjects. A cross-sectional study model was used to analyze common drugs and clinical manifestations in children with poisoning. During the same period, 160 cases of non-drug-poisoned children were taken as the control group. Both groups were given questionnaires to analyze the risk factors that affected children with poisoning.
Results:(1) Among 106 children, 34.91% were 3-6 years old, 57.55% lived in rural areas, 25.47% used antibiotics, 37.74% were poisoned through the digestive tract, and 64.15% were poisoned by adults. (2) Among the clinical manifestations of children with poisoning, 77.36% of children had a rapid heart rate; 65.09% of children had abnormal respiratory symptoms; 63.21% of children had neurological symptoms; 48.11% of children had skin flushing; 41.51% of children had symptoms of the digestive system; 30.19% of children had abnormal urine; lack of company of relatives, lack of family medicine management, and parents not strictly administering drugs were the independent risk factors for drug poisoning in children, and a good education background and keeping breathing smoothly on visiting hospital for emergency treatment were all protective factors, and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).
Conclusion:Drug poisoning in children often involves multiple systems. Being unaccompanied by family members, parents' low education level, lack of drug management, and lack of first aid knowledge are all risk factors for drug poisoning
