Contamination of Young Children Hair During Acute Cannabis Intoxication
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
sudoral and hairing sampling: Sweat sampling using the "sweat test" method, performed after skin stimulation with pilocarpine and a low electrical stimulation. Hair sampling during the follow-up consultation. Sweat, and capillary assays of THC and its main metabolites
Study summary
Hair analysis in pediatric cannabis intoxication is limited by possible sudoral self-contamination, especially in young children due to hair porosity. However, adult studies show no THC-COOH in sweat, challenging this hypothesis. THC-COOH presence in sweat has to this day never been studied in young children. Its absence would help assess the reliability of hair testing for prior exposure. Thus, our main objective is to describe whether THC-COOH can be detected in sweat following cannabis intoxication using gold standard techniques.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Acide 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC (THC-COOH) concentrations in sweat collected during the first 24 hours following emergency admission. — Day 1
concentration measured in sudoral sample (in µg/l)
