Tear Gas and Pepper Spray Toxicity

Tear Gas and Pepper Spray Toxicity

Tear gas and pepper spray are lay terms to describe a group of agents used to subdue combative persons in a non-lethal manner. The three most commonly used in this category are o-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile (CS), chloroacetophenone (CN), and oleoresin capsicum (OC). This activity reviews the evaluation and management of these common agents and reviews the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating, treating, and improving care for patients with this condition.
