Abstract: Objective To analyze the causes and prognosis of children poisoning, and to explore the preventive measures, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods From January 2012 to March 2016, 89 children with poisoning were admitted to the pediatric department of Xijing Hospital, the First Affiliated Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University. There were 49 males and 40 females. The age distribution, the type of poisoning, the reason of poisoning, the time of treatment, the treatment and the outcomes were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among the 89 cases, most cases were 1-6 years old. 1-3 years old children accounted for 40.4% (36/89), and 3-6 years old children accounted for 34.8% (31/89). The most common toxic substance was drug poisoning. Western medicine poisoning accounted for 43.8%(39/89), and Chinese native medicine poisoning accounted for 14.6%(13/89). The poisoning reasons included misuse (22.5%, 20/89), drug overdose (29.2%, 26/89), lack of common sense by parents (30.3%, 27/89), toxic substances used on purpose by youth (6.7%, 6/89), and improper use of iatrogenic drugs (11.2%, 10/89). Gastric lavage, rehydration, diuresis and improvement of metabolism were performed. Continuous renal replacement therapy were performed for critically ill children. 83 cases were cured or improved (93.3%, 83/89), and 6 cases died (6.7%, 6/89). Conclusions Poisoning is harmful to children. Severe cases could lead to death. Prevention measures should be strengthened.
