Respiratory failure and death following acute inhalation of mercury vapor. A clinical and histologic perspective.
A family of four was exposed to toxic levels of mercury vapor while attempting to extract silver from mercury amalgam. All four suffered respiratory failure and subsequent death despite chelation therapy with dimercaprol. Histologic findings at autopsy were similar in all four cases demonstrating a progression of acute lung injury that appeared related to postexposure day survival. There were n...
متن کاملAcute and long term respiratory damage following inhalation of ammonia.
A lifelong non-smoker who was the victim of a massive accidental exposure to anhydrous ammonia gas was followed up for 10 years. In the acute phase the patient presented with severe tracheobronchitis and respiratory failure, caused by very severe burns of the respiratory mucosa. After some improvement he was left with severe and fixed airways obstruction. Isotope studies of mucociliary clearanc...
متن کاملAcute respiratory failure in a child after talc inhalation.
A 19-month-old patient was admitted for a 2-day history of worsening cough and dyspnea which required intubation. On examination, she was afebrile, with 60 breaths per minute, suprasternal indrawings, an oxygen saturation of 70%, and decreased breath sounds over the left hemithorax. A chest radiograph showed complete left opacity with mediastinal shift. A high-resolution CT scan of the chest ( ...
متن کاملNanoparticles: a review of particle toxicology following inhalation exposure.
It is expected that the rapid expansion of nanotechnology will bring many potential benefits. However, initial investigations have demonstrated that nanomaterials may adversely affect human health and the environment. By increasing the application of nanoparticles, protection of the human respiratory system from exposure to airborne nanoparticles and ultrafine particulates has become an emergin...
متن کاملrespiratory disorders associated with heavy inhalation exposure to dolomite dust
background although dolomite is classified as a relatively non-toxic, nuisance dust, little information exists as to its potential to produce respiratory disorders following occupational exposure. the purpose of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the possible effects, if any, of heavy inhalation exposure to this chemical on the prevalence of respiratory symptoms, functional impairments and ...
