Hydrogen sulfide poisoning

The nervous system is vulnerable to attack from several directions. Neurons do not divide, and, therefore, death of a neuron always causes a permanent loss of a cell. The brain has a high demand for oxy gen. Lack of oxygen (hypoxia) rapidly causes brain damage. This manifests itself both on neurons and oligodendroglial cells. Anoxic brain damage may result from acute carbon monoxide, cyanide, and hydrogen sulfide poisonings. Carbon monoxide may also be formed in situ in the metabolism of dichloromethylene. [Pg.292]

In medicines, it is a vasodilator, intestinal relaxant, bronchodila-tor, and an antidote to cyanide and hydrogen sulfide poisoning. [Pg.40]

In the case of life-threatening hydrogen sulfide poisoning, measurements of blood sulfide or urinary thiosulfate levels may be used to confirm exposure. However, samples need to be taken within two hours of exposure in order to be useful. The tests for measuring sulfide in the blood or thiosulfate in the urine are described in Section 2.7.1. [Pg.26]

There is no proven antidote for hydrogen sulfide poisoning. Treatment consists of supportive measures such as evaluating and supporting airway, breathing, and circulation (ATSDR 1994). Sodium nitrite may or may not be an effective antidote, but if proper precautions in administration are observed, intravenous administration of sodium nitrite may help some hydrogen sulfide poisoned persons (Hall 1996 Hall and Rumack 1997). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is controversial, but it may be effective for patients not treated successfully by other measures (ATSDR 1994). [Pg.118]
