Symptoms of mild coal smoke poisoning

The time of poisoning is short, the carboxyhemoglobin in blood is 10% - 20%. The early symptoms of poisoning include headache, dizziness, palpitation, nausea, vomiting, weakness of limbs, and even transient fainting. Generally speaking, the patient is still conscious and inhales fresh air. After leaving the toxic environment, the symptoms disappear rapidly and no sequelae is left.

The time of poisoning is a little longer. Carboxyhemoglobin in blood accounts for 30% - 40%. On the basis of mild symptoms, collapse or coma may occur. The skin and mucous membrane are cherry red. If the rescue is timely, the patient can wake up quickly and recover completely within a few days, generally without sequelae.

It is found that if the time is too late, too much gas is inhaled, or high concentration of carbon monoxide is inhaled in a short time, the concentration of carboxyhemoglobin in blood is often more than 50%. The patient presents with deep coma, disappearance of various reflexes, incontinence of urine and urine, cold limbs, decreased blood pressure, shortness of breath, and will soon die. In general, the longer the coma time, the more serious the prognosis, often leaving dementia, memory and understanding decline, limb paralysis and other sequelae.
