This article reviews the mechanisms of pulmonary injury associated with hydrocarbon poisoning. The evolution of clinical and radiographic changes is discussed, along with appropriate treatment. Preventing aspiration in the emergency department is the most effective therapy for these children in the first few hours after ingestion.Keywords
