Can natural gas cause death by poisoning?

summary

Natural gas poisoning is generally due to the inadequate combustion of natural gas, resulting in the reaction of carbon monoxide and oxygen in human body, resulting in hypoxia and asphyxia. Can natural gas poisoning cause death? Let's introduce it to you. I hope you can read it carefully.

Can natural gas cause death by poisoning?

In the case of natural gas poisoning, it will only happen in the case of no ventilation, 5-10 minutes of coma, 10-15 minutes of shock, 15-30 minutes of heart failure, brain death. However, the gas in the gas usually occurs when sleeping, there is ventilation in the kitchen, will not cause poisoning.

Gas poisoning in families mainly refers to carbon monoxide poisoning, liquefied petroleum gas poisoning, pipeline gas poisoning and natural gas poisoning. The former is more common in winter when coal stoves are used for heating, doors and windows are closed, and smoke exhaust is poor. The latter is common in leakage of liquefied stoves or gas pipelines. When gas poisoning occurs, the patient initially feels headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and weakness. When he realizes the poisoning, he often struggles to get out of bed and open the door and window, but generally only a few people can open the door. Most of the patients suffer from spasm and coma rapidly, and their cheeks, chest skin and lips are cherry red. If the treatment is not timely, they can quickly die of respiratory depression.

If it is found that the time is too late, too much gas is inhaled, or high concentration of carbon monoxide is inhaled in a short period of time, the concentration of carboxyhemoglobin in blood is often more than 50%, the patient will be in deep coma, all kinds of reflex disappear, incontinence, limb cold, blood pressure drop, 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.

matters needing attention

It can be seen from the above that natural gas poisoning can cause death. We must pay attention to ventilation in heating or using natural gas projects in winter, and regularly check the natural gas equipment. Today, Xiaobian is here to introduce you.
