What s the deal with gas poisoning? What s the deal with gas poisoning? How is it caused??

In the cold season, using coal as fuel to maintain the temperature of the rabbit house, if the management is not good, it is easy to cause gas leakage in the coal furnace, which can cause poisoning.

Symptoms: mild poisoning, sick rabbits show shy tears, vomiting, cough, tachycardia, dyspnea. At this time, if you can get out of the poisoned environment in time, you can recover quickly with or without it.

Severe poisoning, when the carboxyhemoglobin in the body reaches 50%, the rabbit quickly becomes unconscious, perceptual impairment, reflex loss, unsteady walking, paralysis of the hindquarters, and cold limbs. The visible mucous membranes are cherry red, pale, or cyanosis, sometimes sweating profusely, the body temperature rises first and then falls, the pulse is weak, and the pupils are dilated. If not timely**, eventually die of cardiac paralysis.

Autopsy showed small bright red hemorrhagic spots in the blood vessels and various organs, and the blood was bright red.

It is worth noting that newborn rabbits are very sensitive to gas. If there is a small amount of gas (i.e. carbon monoxide) in the room, it can cause death. And at this time, there is no reaction from adult rabbits and humans.

Diagnosis: a preliminary diagnosis can be made based on exposure history and clinical symptoms. If available, laboratory tests can confirm the diagnosis if the amount of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood is significantly increased.

Prevention: Before the rabbit farm enters the winter, the heating and other equipment should be overhauled, and the breeding personnel should be vigilant to ensure that the rabbit house is well ventilated.

**: Immediately transfer the poisoned rabbit to a place with fresh air, take artificial respiration on the rabbit, and immediately deliver oxygen if possible.

Intravenous injection with 10% glucose injection plus vitamin C, chloral hydrate, chlorpromazine and other drugs can also be used to relieve spasm in sick rabbits, and subcutaneous injection of cardiotonic agents.

If you have difficulty breathing and failing, you can give oxygen mixed with a certain concentration of carbon dioxide to stimulate the respiratory center, and inject Meilan solution intravenously, which has a good effect. Attention should be paid to heat preservation during the rescue period.

Stoves, ondols, fire walls, etc., are used for heating, which is convenient to apply, but easy to cause gas poisoning.

The causes of gas poisoning are generally as follows:

1) There are too many tobacco tumors accumulated in the kang surface bricks and kang holes of the fire kang, and the moisture in the kang hole is too large, and the tobacco tumors hanging on the chimney fall to the bottom of the chimney by the wind and rain, causing the root of the chimney to be blocked.

2) Burning for the first time or intermittently, and there is too much air conditioning in the kang. In this way, the moisture in the kang cave and the accumulated tobacco tumor meet the fire, and a large amount of carbon monoxide gas is quickly produced, and the chimney is blocked at the bottom, the air convection is not smooth, and the carbon monoxide cannot escape, so it squeezes indoors.

3) For three or nine days, the outside temperature is too low, and the chimney is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, resulting in hanging smoke frost and blocking the chimney eye.

4) There are cracks around the kang surface, the chimney is not tight, and the suction force is small, which will also cause carbon monoxide to be discharged indoors.

Eliminating these hidden dangers will reduce gas poisoning.

Gas poisoning is acute carbon monoxide poisoning, which is caused by the lack of oxygen in the tissues and organs of the whole body caused by a large amount of carbon monoxide entering the human body and combining with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin.

Gas poisoning is carbon monoxide poisoning.

It is CO (carbon monoxide) that binds to your red blood cells so that they cannot bind oxygen, causing CO poisoning.

Gas poisoning: Coal gas is a type of gas, and the main component is methane, just like natural gas and other gases.

Carbon monoxide poisoning: Carbon monoxide is a type of emission gas produced by any combustible material in addition to carbon dioxide when it is not fully combusted.

The causes of poisoning are different and should not be confused.

Remind coal furnace users to pay attention to safety.

First of all, check the connection position of the gas meter, the gas hose, and the connection between the gas hose and the stove for gas leakage.

Coal gas is a gas containing flammable components that is processed from coal. According to the processing method, the nature of the gas and the way of using the mold date, it is divided into: water gas, semi-water gas, and air gas (or furnace gas) obtained by coal gasification.

The calorific value of these gases is low, so they are also called low-calorific gas; The gas obtained by coking in the coal dry distillation method is called coke oven gas. It belongs to the medium calorific value of gas, which can be used as a civil fuel in the city. Carbon monoxide and hydrogen in coal gas are important chemical raw materials.

Because the solid fuel only reacts with oxygen, the combustible denier trapped part of the gas is mainly carbon monoxide, so its calorific value is low, generally only 800 900 kcal standard cubic meters, or even lower, so it is rarely used in industry, and is generally a by-product in blast furnace production.

Gas poisoning refers to the symptoms of poisoning caused by human exposure to toxic gases (such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, formaldehyde, etc.). Here are the common symptoms of gas poisoning,** and what to do:

Common symptoms of gas poisoning:

1.Headache, dizziness, dizziness.

2.Nausea, vomiting.

3.Difficulty breathing, chest tightness.

4.Heart palpitations, irregular heartbeat.

5.Shortness of breath, shortness of breath.

6.Confusion, coma.

7.Pale and cyanotic.

Common Gas Poisoning**:

1.Carbon monoxide poisoning: Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, odorless toxic gas, often produced by coal, gas, automobile exhaust and other combustions, and is easy to accumulate in poor ventilation environments. Carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin and prevents the blood from carrying oxygen, leading to a lack of oxygen.

2.Carbon dioxide poisoning: Carbon dioxide is an exhaust gas produced by human metabolism, and excessive accumulation leads to a decrease in indoor air quality, resulting in hypoxia and suffocation.

3.Other toxic gases, such as formaldehyde and ammonia, are often released by interior decoration materials, furniture, detergents, etc., and long-term exposure can cause poisoning symptoms.

Remedies for gas poisoning:

1.Leave the source of contamination quickly: If you notice symptoms of gas poisoning, you should immediately leave the area of the possible gas leak and reach the place of fresh air.

2.Open windows for ventilation: If it's safe to do so, open windows for ventilation and try to increase fresh air circulation.

3.Call for first aid: Call emergency help** to inform you of the situation and request medical help. While waiting for rescue, remain calm and provide the necessary first aid.

4.Do not use open flames or electrical appliances: Avoid lighting open flames or using electrical appliances to reduce fire and further hazards.

5.Do not self-treat: Avoid using some traditional methods, such as eating ginger, soju, etc., which do not really solve the problem of poisoning.

Gas poisoning is a serious health risk, and precautions are very important. Ensure good indoor ventilation, maintain gas equipment in a timely manner, and avoid the use of coal-fired stoves in confined spaces can effectively prevent the occurrence of gas poisoning.

Gas poisoning is caused by inhalation through the respiratory tract when the products of incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances occur. The mechanism of poisoning is that the affinity of carbon monoxide to hemoglobin is 200 300 times higher than that of oxygen to hemoglobin.

Therefore, carbon monoxide is very easy to combine with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which makes hemoglobin lose its oxygen-carrying ability and effect, causing tissue suffocation. It has a toxic effect on tissue cells throughout the body, especially on the cerebral cortex.

Minor gas poisoning quickly moves the patient to a place with fresh air, bed rest, warmth, and airway clearance. (Gas poisoning is generally referred to as carbon monoxide poisoning).

Principles for the treatment of gas poisoning.

1) General treatment: Breathe fresh air; Heat preservation; oxygen inhalation; Patients whose breathing is weak or stop breathing must be given artificial respiration immediately; Hibernation can be used if necessary**; If the condition is severe, blood can be bled first and then transfused.

2) Prevention and treatment of cerebral edema.

3) Support**.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is inhalation through the respiratory tract when the products of incomplete combustion of carbon-containing substances occur. The poisoning mechanism is that the affinity between carbon monoxide and hemoglobin is 200 300 times higher than that of oxygen and hemoglobin, so the oxo-induced carbon is very easy to combine with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which makes hemoglobin lose its oxygen-carrying ability and effect, causing tissue suffocation. It has a toxic effect on tissue rotten cells throughout the body, especially on the cerebral cortex.

In daily life, it is often caused by the use of coal stoves for heating in winter, poor smoke exhaust from closed doors and windows, and gas leakage from gas stoves.

1. Open the doors and windows immediately, move the patient to a place with fresh air and good ventilation, loosen the buttons, pay attention to keeping warm, and if breathing stops, mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration should be performed immediately.

2 Coma patients should pay attention to sucking out the secretions of the oral vertical foci and talking about the respiratory tract to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed.

3 50 ml of glucose solution, plus vitamin C 500 1000 mg intravenously.

4 Intravenous infusion of energy mixture to promote the recovery of cell function.

5 Perform acupuncture immediately**. Take the acupuncture points of the sun, head dimension, divine court, and column gap, and leave the needle for 15 minutes. The comatose person stabbed the acupuncture points such as Renzhong, Shaoshang, Shiyi, Yongquan, Hegu, and Zusanli.

6 Use of respiratory stimulants.

7 Inhale oxygen or oxygen containing 5 carbon dioxide as soon as possible. When possible, the hyperbaric oxygen chamber should be carried out as soon as possible**, and the oxygen pressure should not exceed two atmospheres.
