- ArticleJonas O, Smyth N.Med J Aust. 1975 Apr 26;1(17):534-5.A survey was conducted among patients attending the casualty department of the Adelaide Children's Hospital to find the length of time which elapsed between the ingestion of a potentially toxic substance and the institution of measures to evacuate the stomach contents. This paper demonstrates that there is often an undue delay before effective treatment is instituted. To overcome this delay, the administration of syrup of ipecacuanha in the home as a first-aid measure in the management of accidental poisoning is advocated.
