Discussion Introduction • Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless toxic gas that has strong odor of “rotten eggs” • H2S poisoning usually occurs by inhalation ~ Woodall GM et al, Inhal Toxicol. 2005;17:593-639
Source • Organic 1. Incomplete oxidation of sulfur compounds 2. Bacterial degradation of sulfur compounds • Inorganic, mainly industrial 1. Petroleum industry -- contamination or by-product 2. Chemical industry -- reactant for production of chemicals 3. Production of heavy water 4. Metal refining ~ Tee L. Guidotti , International Journal of Toxicology. 2010, 29:569-581
Apnea !! Knock down !! ~ Doujaiji B et al, Ann Saudi Med. 2010;30:76-80
Symptoms ~ Tee L. Guidotti , International Journal of Toxicology. 2010, 29:569-581
Diagnosis • Measurement of blood sulfide in acute emergencies is of little clinical value. • History of hydrogen sulfide exposure • Odor of hydrogen sulfide • Serum BUN, Cr, electrolyte, glucose, CPK, blood gas & serum lactate • ECG & Chest X-ray • CT scan ~ Milby HT et al, American Journal of Industrial Medicine. 1999, 35:192-195
Treatment ~ Gregorakos L et al, Angiology. 1995, 46:1123-1131
Antidote – Nitrite Salt • Nitrite salt oxidizes the Fe2+ of hemoglobin to Fe3+, deriving Met-Hb • Met-Hb competes with the Fe3+ of cytochrome oxidase and protects it from oxidization by H2S • Keep the Met-Hb level < 25% with a concern of hypoxemiafrom methemoglobinemia cyt c3+ cyt c2+ Oxy-Hb Amyl nitrite, Sodium nitrite cyt a3+ cyt a2+ Met-Hb H2S cyt a33+ cyt a32+ Sulfa-MetHb H2O2 + 2H+ 2H2O Oxy-Hb + SO2 Blood Mitochondria ~ Smith RP et al, Ann Rev Toxicol. 1976, 16:189
Nitrite Kit ~ Morii et al, Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology. 2010, 5:28
Highlights • Hydrogen sulfide poisoning is a relatively uncommon and frequently lethal hazard • Toxidrome: 1. odor perception followed by olfactory paralysis 2. burning eyes 3. pulmonary edema 4. knock down • Foul odor • Keep Airway, breath, circulation, O2 100% • Antidote:Amyl nitrite、Sodium nitrite
