Abstract

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics caused by acute poisoning by inhalation of hydrogen chloride (HCl) and to raise awareness and treatment level of the disease. Methods: The clinical manifestations, imaging features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of 5 patients with acute HCl poisoning were analyzed retrospectively. Results: Among the 5 cases of HCl poisoning, 2 cases were severe poisoning, 3 cases were moderate poisoning. All patients were treated with corticosteroids and symptomatic treatment, one of them was treated with venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO) . All patients were recovered and discharged from hospital. Conclusion: The lung damage of acute poisoning by inhalation of HCl is rapidly progressing, early detection and timely medical treatment can obtain a better prognosis.

目的: 分析吸入盐酸(Hydrochloric acid,HCl)烟雾中毒病例的临床特点,提高对该病的诊治水平。 方法: 2019年3月回顾分析我院2018年7月6日至2018年7月9日收治的5例吸入氯化氢吸入致中毒病例临床资料,对其临床表现、影像学特征、诊断、治疗及预后进行总结。 结果: 5例患者中,2例诊断为重度中毒,3例为中度中毒。5例均予糖皮质激素及对症支持治疗,其中1例予静脉-静脉体外膜肺氧合(Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation,VV-ECMO)治疗,所有患者均痊愈出院。 结论: 吸入盐酸烟雾中毒患者肺部损害可在短期内明显进展,早期发现、及时就医可获得较好预后。.
