Clinical forms a) Foudroyant expressed by a quick lethal issue due to paralysis of respiration, shock and asystolia b) Cerebral paralytic (extremely severe) characterised by paralysis of bulbar centres, apnoea, paralysis of interbone and other nerves, conscience disorders, coma c) polyorgan respiratory coma (severe) acute respiratory and cardiovascular insufficiency are observed expressed by and combined with the symptoms described in the clinical picture. [Pg.67]

Electrocutions kill an average of 143 construction workers each year. Data from 1992 through 2003 indicates electrical workers suffered the highest number of electrocutions per year, 34 percent of the total deaths caused by electrocution ( Alarming statistics, by D. Bremer, 2007, Electrical Contractor). Direct death from electrical shock results from ventricular fibrillation, paralysis of the respiratory center, or a combination of the two. Electricity can be hazardous to the process employees in a variety of forms. They are ... [Pg.88]

The onset and intensity of clinical symptoms of intoxication with Aconitum alkaloids usually depend on the quantity ingested. The first sign of poisoning may appear within 10 min after administration as paresthesia, numbness in the area of contact with poison (perioral, skin, then face, and limbs), followed by weakness, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, palpitation, hypotension, arrhythmia, systemic paralysis, shock, and coma. The death can occur within 2-6 h, or immediately, if a high dose of alkaloid is introduced. The main causes of death are ventricular arrhythmias, and paralysis of cardiovascular and respiratory systems [40]. [Pg.1516]
