Van Eyk J, Acetaminophen is easily available and accessible in most homes and has serious toxic potential, especially in children.3 Acetaminophen levels tested about four hours after ingestion may be most accurate, with serial levels following well-established nomograms that may guide the administration of N-acetylcysteine (Acetadote).15, Electrolytes, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, Urine human chorionic gonadotropin (if patient is a woman of childbearing age), Specific drug levels (e.g., salicylates, iron, digoxin, anticonvulsants, alcohol).

In one study, only 3 percent of screening test results in the pediatric emergency department were positive without suspicion of an exposure.16 In a second prospective study, toxicologic screening influenced treatment decisions in children only when quantitative assays, such as acetaminophen, salicylates, phenytoin (Dilantin), and carbamazepine (Tegretol) levels, were performed.17 Positive urine drug screens should be verified by another method of detection; conversely, a false-negative urine screen could misdirect treatment.

The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services charged under the Superfund Act to assess the presence and nature of health hazards at specific Superfund sites and to help prevent or reduce further exposure and the illnesses that result from such exposures. The cases (0–18 years old) related to complaints of intoxication in the pediatric emergency department between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017, were examined retrospectively.
