AB The  cardinal  principle  of  the  management  of  the  poisoned  patient  is  meticulous  supportive  care.Gastrointestinal  decontamination  plays  a  limited  role  in  the  routine  management  of  poisoned  patients.Ipecac-induced  emesis,  gastric  lavage,  and  cathartics  should  not  be  considered  in  the  poisoned  child.Activated  charcoal  or  whole  bowel  irrigation  (WBI)  are  potential  interventions  in  a  limited  number  of  patients.Antidotes  are  available  for  a  limited  number  of  poisonings.
