Summary

This retrospective study was conducted to collect data from approximately 100 patients from 6 months to 18 years of age who were stung by a scorpion but were not treated with antivenom. The study consisted of a review of hospital records of patients who were admitted for intensive care management of scorpion envenomation, at the only two hospitals in North America known to admit children routinely for scorpion sting management without antivenom. The standard of care consisted of symptomatic and supportive care, including airway maintenance, fluid and electrolyte support and, if necessary, sedation.
