Initial Stabilization and Monitoring

Airway Management

• Secure the airway promptly in patients presenting with altered mental status or coma because respiratory depression and loss of protective reflexes are common complications of 2,4‑D poisoning. 1

Poison‑Control Consultation

• Contact the regional poison‑control center early for expert guidance, since 2,4‑D poisoning is frequently misdiagnosed as organophosphate poisoning. 1
