Intentional use of gasoline as an intoxicant has been frequently reported in diverse clinical literature. Recent investigations have described a high prevalence of this behavior in certain ethnic groups such as American and Canadian Indians living in isolated areas. Encephalopathy due to tetraethyl lead has become a well-accepted complication of gasoline sniffing within the last decade, but other adverse effects are less well known. This report discusses gasoline sniffing as a specific substance abuse behavior, and reviews some of the known or potential medical complications. Treatment is primarily limited to chelation therapy for organic lead intoxication, although other interventions may be effective on an individual basis.
在各类临床文献中，经常有关于故意将汽油用作致醉物的报道。近期调查显示，在某些特定族群中，如居住在偏远地区的美国和加拿大印第安人，这种行为极为普遍。在过去十年里，四乙基铅所致的脑病已成为汽油嗅吸公认的并发症，但其他不良反应却鲜为人知。本报告将汽油嗅吸作为一种特定的物质滥用行为进行讨论，并回顾一些已知的或潜在的医学并发症。治疗主要局限于针对有机铅中毒的螯合疗法，不过其他干预措施可能对个体有效。
