Created page with "==Background== *Fumigant and pesticide. Also reported as pulmonary chemical weapon *Colorless, non-flammable gas that has no odor except at high levels *Binds to and damages..."

New page

==Background==
*Fumigant and pesticide. Also reported as pulmonary chemical weapon
*Colorless, non-flammable gas that has no odor except at high levels
*Binds to and damages DNA
*Neurotoxic, though inhalational injury is most common cause of death acutely
*Long term exposure to low levels can affect CNS

==Clinical Features==
*Onset of symptoms several minutes to 48h after exposure
*Corrosive to skin and eyes, can cause irritation and blistering, though poorly absorbed through skin
*Neurotoxic
**Effects may be long-lasting
**[[HA]], visual disturbance, fatigue
**[[Nausea/vomiting]]
**Cerebellar dysfunction (e.g. nystagmus, [[ataxia]])
**[[AMS]]
**[[Seizure]], paralysis
*Inhalational exposure causes direct respiratory irritation --> [[pulmonary edema]]

==Differential Diagnosis==
{{Chemical weapon DDX}}

==Evaluation==
*Evaluate for alternate diagnoses

==Management==
*Decontaminate
*Supportive

==Disposition==
*Dependant on severity of toxicity
