A Case of Intravenous Suicide: Sodium Hypochlorite & Benzalkonium Chloride

A case report of sodium hypochlorite accident

Sodium hypochlorite is widely used as an irrigating solution in dental practice. Despite its safe properties, serious complications can result from inadvertent use. We report a patient presenting to the accident and emergency department for sodium hypochlorite accident during dental root canal therapy. The management of this dental emergency condition is discussed. (Hong Kong j.emerg.med. 2010;...

Effect of an Intravenous Sodium Chloride Load

T HAT most hypertensive patients excrete more water, sodium, and chloride than do normotensive patients when given sodium chloride has been well established since the studies of Farnsworth and Barker.1-3 They pointed out that during diuresis a higher percentage of filtered chloride is excreted by hypertensive individuals. Green, Wedell, Wald, and Learned4 found water and sodium excretion to be ...

Removal of benzalkonium chloride by polymeric adsorbents

Removal of benzalkonium chloride (BKC) from aqueous streams by polymeric resins XAD-7 and XAD-16 was investigated. Adsorption equilibrium isotherms of BKC from water were measured in a batch adsorber at different temperatures and ionic strengths of the external phase. In addition, the influence of an organic solvent (ethanol) on the phase equilibrium was studied. The experimental data was corre...

Sodium Hypochlorite-Dowex 1X8-200: A Convenient Oxidizing Reagant

The polymer supported hypochlorite ion is a facile selective oxidizing agent for the oxidation of various alcohols to aldehydes and ketones. Similarly is successfully oxidizes various Hantzsch type 1,4- dihydropyridines to corresponding pyridines.
