How to treat nitrogen dioxide poisoning?

summary

A very dangerous thing happened last week. My brother was poisoned by carbon dioxide. Nitrogen dioxide, a kind of irritating gas, has weak stimulating effect on the upper respiratory tract mucosa. It mainly enters the bronchioles and alveoli in the deep part of the respiratory tract, and gradually acts with water to form nitric acid and nitrite, which has a serious stimulating and corrosive effect on the lung tissue. It can lead to pulmonary edema, This can lead to poisoning. Let's take a look at the following.

How to treat nitrogen dioxide poisoning?

First, leave the scene immediately. No matter the severity of the symptoms, they should lie still, breathe fresh air or oxygen, and observe closely for 24 hours.

Second: the patients with pulmonary edema should be given alcohol oxygen inhalation or add xiaopaojing (dimethylsilicone oil) in the humidification bottle. Furosemide (furosemide) or sodium diuretic can be used.

Third: symptomatic treatment: no hyperbaric oxygen equipment can be taken to wear a mask under normal pressure, large flow oxygen. Restlessness, convulsions can use sedatives or sub hibernation.

matters needing attention

The most prominent characteristics of nitrous oxide poisoning are fingertips, yellowing hair, cough, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. Because nitrogen dioxide poisoning will cause pulmonary edema of the wounded, so artificial respiration can not be used. If it is necessary to use Susheng apparatus, carbon dioxide should not be mixed in pure oxygen to avoid stimulating the lungs of the wounded. The best way is to enable the wounded to breathe autonomously under the condition of oxygen supply from the Susheng apparatus.
