Analgesics,non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antihistamines are the most commonly ingested drugs in children.The principles of management of drug poisoning are:(1)resuscitation and initial stabilization; (2)diagnosis of type of poision.According to recent studies,gastric lavage should not routinely be used in all poisoning cases,instead the use of activated carbon is recommended.For severe or special cases advanced life support technologies such as mechanical ventilation,blood purification,extracorpo-real membrane oxygenation should be considered.
