Cleaning naphtha, a product of Chinese Petroleum Corporation, is a complex hydrocarbon mixture which contains mainly aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is used as a cleaning fluid and solvent. Three toddlers mis-swallowed a mouth of cleaning naphtha accidentally. One developed multiple organ failure before death, another completely recovered without sequelae, and the other died very soon after mis-swallowing. Two fatal cases were both induced vomiting with aspiration immediately after mis-swallowing by their parents. Therefore, inducing vomiting should not be encouraged especially at home, and prevention of aspiration is very important in the management of such cases.
中国石化的清洁石脑油是一种复杂的碳氢化合物混合物，主要含有脂肪烃。它用作清洁液和溶剂。三名幼儿意外误吞了一口清洁石脑油。其中一名在死前出现多器官功能衰竭，另一名完全康复且无后遗症，还有一名在误吞后很快死亡。两例致命病例的父母在误吞后均立即诱导呕吐并导致误吸。因此，尤其在家中不应鼓励诱导呕吐，在处理此类病例时预防误吸非常重要。
