“…There have also been initial reports suggesting these packs are caustic upon ingestion (8). In addition, metabolic acidosis has also been described in some cases (9,10). Before the initial report, our institution, in conjunction with the associated regional poison center, was monitoring exposures to these products.…”

“…While previous research has broadly investigated injuries linked to cleaning agents and exposures to specific substances such as laundry detergent packets [ 2 , 3 , 5 , 6 ], to our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive analysis of the US PCC data regarding eye exposures associated with household cleaning products.…”

Background/objectives To investigate ocular exposures associated with household cleaning products in the United States. Subjects/methods A retrospective analysis of ocular exposures associated with household cleaning products was conducted using data from the National Poison Data System from 2000 through 2016. Results From January 2000 through December 2016, poison control centres in the United States received 319,508 calls for household cleaning product-related ocular exposures, averaging 18,795 exposures annually. The annual frequency of exposures decreased significantly by 28.8% during the study period. The rate of exposures per 100,000 US residents was 28.4 among young children (<6 years), 4.8 among older children (6–12 years), 4.2 among teenagers (13–19 years), and 4.2 among adults (≥20 years); children 2 years old had the highest rate of exposure (62.8). Bleaches (25.9%), wall/floor/tile cleaners (13.4%), disinfectants (10.8%), laundry detergents (6.1%), and glass cleaners (5.3%) were the non-miscellaneous product subcategories most commonly associated with ocular exposures. The product subcategories associated with the greatest proportion of major medical outcomes were drain cleaners (1.4%), oven cleaners (1.1%), and automatic dishwasher detergents (0.4%). Conclusions On average, the United States poison control centres received approximately two reports of household cleaning product-related ocular exposures every hour during the 17-year study period. Although the annual number and rate of exposures declined during this time, the number of these exposures remains high, especially among young children, underscoring the need for additional prevention efforts. Contrary to the overall trend, ocular exposures to laundry detergent packets have increased significantly and merit special preventive action.

“…Con respecto al propilenglicol, este compuesto se asocia a manifestaciones neurológicas e hiperlactacidemia. El alcohol etoxilado se asocia a sedación, ya que los alcoholes, al ser hidrocarburos, alteran la fluidez de las membranas y tienen un efecto gabaérgico (3,18).…”

Aceptado el 18 de julio de 2017 Palabras clave:Intoxicaciones en pediatría detergentes tipo "pod" riesgos. R E S U M E NLas intoxicaciones son una causa frecuente de consulta a los servicios de urgencias. En Colombia, el Sistema Nacional de Vigilancia en Salud Pública (SIVIGILA) ha reportado su aumento. Hasta la semana epidemiológica 41 del año 2016, se habían reportado 27,117 casos de intoxicación, con una ocurrencia de 55.6 por cada 100.000 habitantes, en su mayoría por medicamentos.La población pediátrica está expuesta a diversos xenobióticos por sus actividades exploratorias, entre los cuales se cuentan los productos de limpieza. Los detergentes tipo "pod" (detergentes encapsulados) han ganado popularidad en nuestro país; uno de los riesgos que presenta esta clase de detergentes es su empaque, el cual guarda similitud con la apariencia de un dulce, lo cual lo hace atractivo a los niños, aumentando el riesgo de exposiciones accidentales.Tradicionalmente se ha considerado que los productos de limpieza tienen bajo potencial de letalidad, sin embargo, hay nueva evidencia que demuestra que las intoxicaciones por detergentes generan riesgos gastrointestinales, neurológicos, metabólicos, respiratorios y renales, por lo cual es importante cambiar el paradigma de que los detergentes no tienen una toxicidad importante.
