Inhalation of chlorine gas.
The clinical features of acute chlorine gas inhalation, and its management are reviewed. Current medical views on the chronic effects of an acute overwhelming exposure on lung function (reactive airways dysfunction syndrome), and the more controversial field of lung disease secondary to repeated inhalations of lower concentrations of chlorine gas are discussed.
متن کاملChlorine inhalation-induced myocardial depression and failure
Victims of chlorine (Cl2) inhalation that die demonstrate significant cardiac pathology. However, a gap exists in the understanding of Cl2-induced cardiac dysfunction. This study was performed to characterize cardiac dysfunction occurring after Cl2 exposure in rats at concentrations mimicking accidental human exposures (in the range of 500 or 600 ppm for 30 min). Inhalation of 500 ppm Cl2 for 3...
متن کاملChlorine inhalation produces nasal congestion in allergic rhinitics without mast cell degranulation.
Seasonal allergic rhinitic (SAR) subjects are more sensitive to nasal irritants than nonrhinitic (NR) subjects; however, the mechanism underlying this difference is unclear. This study sought to determine whether irritant-induced nasal congestion involves mast cell degranulation. Eight SAR and eight NR subjects were exposed to both 1.0 parts per million chlorine and filtered air in separate vis...
متن کاملChlorine inhalation produces nasal airflow limitation in allergic rhinitic subjects without evidence of neuropeptide release.
BACKGROUND Seasonal allergic rhinitic (SAR) subjects are more physiologically reactive to airborne irritants than non-rhinitic (NR) subjects; however the mechanism underlying this difference is unclear. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine whether irritant-induced nasal airflow limitation involves neuropeptide release into nasal lining fluid, and if so, whether such release occurs differentially ...
متن کاملSarcoendoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase. A critical target in chlorine inhalation-induced cardiotoxicity.
Autopsy specimens from human victims or experimental animals that die due to acute chlorine gas exposure present features of cardiovascular pathology. We demonstrate acute chlorine inhalation-induced reduction in heart rate and oxygen saturation in rats. Chlorine inhalation elevated chlorine reactants, such as chlorotyrosine and chloramine, in blood plasma. Using heart tissue and primary cardio...
