PY - 2014 T2 - Strange and Schafermeyer's Pediatric Emergency Medicine, 4e AB - Ethanol overdose in children may result in hypoglycemia.Methanol ingestion is associated with visual disturbance, metabolic acidosis, and possibly multi-organ system failure.Ethylene glycol poisoning is associated with metabolic acidosis, renal failure, and possibly multi-organ system failure.Isopropanol may cause CNS depression but does not usually cause metabolic acidosis.All of the toxic alcohols can produce an osmol gap.Fomepizole is the only FDA-approved antidote for ethylene glycol and methanol toxicity.Hemodialysis is indicated in severe toxic alcohol ingestions not responsive to conventional medical therapy, or with evidence of end-organ damage or severe acidosis.
