By the product, not the symptom — household chemical exposure station

A bedside structured clinical encounter testing recognition of a household chemical exposure, identification of the product from the container, application of the contraindications (no induced emesis, no gastric lavage for hydrocarbons, no neutralisation for caustics), running the six-hour hydrocarbon observation, and arranging early endoscopy within twenty-four hours for a caustic comparator.

Prompt
A two-year-old is brought to the acute assessment area forty minutes after swallowing a mouthful of lamp oil, alert but having coughed at the scene.

Station status

This is one MedVellum formative structured clinical encounter. The scoring, prompts and performance descriptions are educational feedback tools. They are not an official college station, timing, mark allocation, pass score or reproduced examination format. The encounter assesses first-impression recognition, identification of the product from the container, application of the contraindications, running the six-hour hydrocarbon observation, arranging timed endoscopy for a caustic comparator, communication, escalation, and a structured handover.
