Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic gas produced as a by-product of organic waste and many industrial processes. Hydrogen sulfide exposure symptoms may vary from mild (dizziness, headaches, nausea) to severe lactic acidosis via its inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation, leading to cardiac arrhythmias and death. Treatment is generally supportive. We report the case of a patient presenting with cardiac arrest secondary to hydrogen sulfide exposure treated with both hyperbaric oxygen therapy and therapeutic hypothermia to achieve full neurologic recovery.
硫化氢是一种有毒气体,作为有机废物和许多工业过程的副产品而产生。硫化氢暴露的症状可能从轻度(头晕、头痛、恶心)到严重的乳酸性酸中毒不等,这是通过抑制氧化磷酸化引起的,导致心律失常和死亡。治疗通常是支持性的。我们报告了一例因硫化氢暴露导致心搏骤停的患者,该患者接受高压氧治疗和治疗性低温治疗以实现完全神经恢复。
