RESUMEN
Durante dos meses se recogieron datos de los pacientes que acudieron por una intoxicación aguda con productos domésticos, comparando los cuidados que precisaban con el resto de intoxicados. Las variables se introdujeron y analizaron a través del paquete estadístico SPSS 15.0. Se atendieron 281 intoxicados, de los cuales 22 (7,8%) habían tomado productos. Como conclusiones destacan que los pacientes intoxicados con productos domésticos son predominantemente mujeres. Están implicados con mayor frecuencia los productos cáusticos ingeridos de forma accidental, los que han salpicado los ojos y los gases irritantes inhalados. La cantidad de cuidados que precisan resulta inferior a los de otro tipo de intoxicaciones. El pronóstico es bueno(AU)
ABSTRACT
During a two month period, the authors gathered data from patients who visited an emergency ward due to acute intoxication by a household product, and they compared the care which those patients required with the other patients suffering from different intoxications. The variables were introduced and analyzed using a SPSS 15.0 statistics package. The emergency ward registered 281 intoxication incidents of which 22 or 8.7% were related to household products. Among the conclusions drawn from this study, the authors emphasize that the majority of patients intoxicated by household products were women. Caustic products are involved in the greatest number of incidences, either accidentally swallowed, splashed into eyes or inhaled as gas. The amount of treatment those patients require is less than the treatment required for other intoxications. Their prognostic is good(AU)
