Disclosure • No financial interest • No business relationships with manufacturers, distributors or retailers of these products • No off-label use of products to be discussed
AAPCC • Poison Control Centers provide treatment recommendations and follow up assessment for over 2. 4 million poison exposures per year. • All deaths reported to AAPCC are abstracted and the deaths with clear cause of death are published annually as short case reports
Hydrocarbons • 2 age groups affected • Route of exposure for each age group • Cause for morbidity and mortality for each age group
Hydrocarbons - Toddlers (Garage and Kitchen Sink Tox) • 15 month old female found vomiting, cyanotic and in respiratory distress in the garage. The odor of gasoline was on the child
Hydrocarbons - Toddlers • 2 yo child ingested unknown amount of cigarette lighter fluid (Zippo)
Hydrocarbons - Toddlers • 18 month old child brought to ED after ingestion of pyrethrin insecticide that was >90% petroleum distillates
Hydrocarbons - Toddlers • 15 mo male ingested and aspirated tiki torch oil at home
Hydrocarbons • 33, 000 exposures reported to AAPCC (2013) • 10, 000 involved children • Low rate of admission and death
Acute Clinical Effects • CNS • GI • Respiratory
Hydrocarbons • Important History: – Type of hydrocarbon (volatility, surface tension and viscosity) – When – How much (often unreliable) – Coughing – Vomiting (increases aspiration potential) – Behavior changes (lethargy, drowsiness)
Hydrocarbons • Important signs and diagnostic exam results – Mental status – Respiratory status • Cough • Tachypnea • Grunting/Flaring/Retractions • Fever • Pulse ox • CXR
Hydrocarbons • 15 mo female with odor of gasoline: Taken to community hospital. Arrested and expired before helicopter transport • 2 yo male with cigarette lighter fluid: Died in ED
Hydrocarbons • 18 mo female in 99% mineral spirit ingestion: Lethargic and vomiting, died soon after arriving at tertiary care center • 15 mo male tiki torch ingestion, intubated in ER, transferred to tertiary care center for ECMO, aggressive treatment for 4 days – 4 th day declared brain dead
Inhalants - Hydrocarbons
Types of Abused Inhalants Hydrocarbons (examples out of 1000’s include) – Solvents/Volatile Chemicals • • – Gases Gasoline Strippers Lacquer Dry-cleaning fluids Carburetor Cleaners Correction Fluid Permanent Marker Model Glue www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org • Freon • Butane • Propane

Computer Dust Cleaner
Why Inhalants Are Abused • Available – Home, school, groceries, hardware/home improvement stores • Legal purchased – No restriction to access (whipped cream cans) • Low Cost – Correction Fluid, butane lighters, nail polish remover, air freshener, cooking sprays, COMPUTER DUST CLEANER www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Why Inhalants Are Abused • Immediate physiological effects – Works immediately unlike pills or alcohol • Short-acting Effects – Provides a short 1 to 5 minute high perfect for inbetween class breaks, bathroom use, school bus trips www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Why Inhalants Are Abused • Social Activity – Usually done in groups • Hard to detect – No easy “drug test” • Easy to Conceal – Butane lighter, small vials www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Why Inhalants Are Abused • Unrecognized Dangers – Products are legal and the dangers were not well publicized • Paraphernalia – No needles, crack pipes, bongs needed. Plastic bags, rags, socks, bandanas and balloons are easily obtainable and not easily recognized as warning signs by adults www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
• Sniffing Methods of Abuse – Inhaling vapors directly from an open container (lowest concentration) • Huffing – Inhaling vapors from a volatile-soaked cloth held over face (medium concentration) • Bagging – Placing volatile substance in a bag and breathing into the bag (highest concentration) • Ballooning – Inhaling the contents of a balloon • Dusting – Inhaling the contents of computer dust cleaner www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Ballooning remnants www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Huffing www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Bagging Hefty-bagging with gasoline filled garbage bags www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Dusting
Types of Abused Inhalants • Hydrocarbons – Easily cross the blood brain barrier – Have “general anesthetic” qualities – Euphoria, intoxication www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Hydrocarbon PETscan Uptake noted in striatal regions (pleasure centers) on the left and Cerebellum (involved with movement) on the right www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Recognition of Abuse • Paint stains on face, hands or clothing • Rash on face or blisters on mouth/lips/nose without explanation – Inhalants can be drying, irritating and cause rashes, cracking, blisters and sores on the skin. www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Frostbite from Inhalant Abuse www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Localized Frostbite from Freon sniffing www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
Acute Cardiac Effects of Inhalants www. mchc. org www. illinoispoisoncenter. org
• 17 yo female presents to ED by EMS in cardiac arrest after huffing computer cleaner that contained difluoroethane. • Intubated by EMS in the field • ROSC post resuscitation with atropine, CPR, IVF – no Epinephrine given • CT Head: Brain edema, severe anoxic injury • Expired within 24 hours
Calcium Channel Blockers (Medicine Cabinet Or Purse Tox Or Visiting Grandparents Tox) • 19 month old male found with mother’s Nifedipine 90 mg SR tablets. By pill count may have ingested 5 pills.
Calcium Channel Blockers
Calcium Channel Blockers Hyperglycemia is a calling card of this drug overdose • Calcium Channel blockers in the pancreatic B islet cells • Decreased release of insulin • Can lead to HYPERGLYCEMIA
Calcium Channel blockers • 2 yo male with ingestion of up to 450 mg sustained release nifedipine • Unremarkable vitals initially. Glucose 253 • Upon arrival to tertiary care center, resting tachycardia 150 to 170.
