The use of atropine in a nerve agent response with specific reference to children: are current guidelines too cautious
Emergency Medicine Journal, 09/23/09
Sandilands EA et al. – No precise agreement exists on the most appropriate dose of atropine, or the frequency with which it should be administered. This uncertainty leaves children vulnerable as potentially life–saving treatment may be crucially delayed. Guidelines must be standardised to allow rapid antidotal delivery and maximise the potential for survivors. This review examines the issues currently surrounding the use of atropine in children following a nerve agent attack and propose strategies for treating exposed children.
