This is episode three of season one of the Toxicology series that Suzan Mazor, the Medical Director for Toxicology at Seattle Children's, and I are putting together. This episode focuses on one of the most common intentional ingestions - Acetaminophen.
I am delighted to announce the winners of the 2020 PEMPix competition. Each year the AAP Section on Emergency Medicine awards two prizes - one chosen by the audience, which was a secure online vote by members of the Section on Emergency Medicine this year, and the other by the panel of judges who helped to select the finalists. The judges voted on their favorite case in an anonymized fashion prior to publication of the cases. The winners of the Audience Award and Judge's Award will receive an honorarium from the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Emergency Medicine
It was my absolute pleasure sharing all ten of the PEMPix finalist cases this year. If you haven't already done so, please check them out today. I've included links to all ten cases in this post.
This is episode 2 of season one of the Toxicology series that Suzan Mazor, the Medical Director for Toxicology at Seattle Children's, and I are putting together. This follow up episode focuses on a decontamination and elimination in the poisoned pediatric patient and offers many pearls that will serve as a foundation for upcoming episodes - including why Ipecac is no longer prescribed to every 4 month old!
