Abstract

Acute mercury inhalation poisoning is a rare cause of acute lung injury. It is commonly fatal in the young child because of progressive pulmonary failure. We describe a 3-month-old infant who survived this insult with the use of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation. This form of support may be an option in the patient with severe adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) or air leak syndromes.

摘要

急性汞吸入中毒是急性肺损伤的罕见病因。由于进行性肺衰竭，在幼儿中通常是致命的。我们描述了一名3个月大的婴儿，通过使用高频振荡通气在此次损伤中存活下来。这种支持方式可能是患有严重成人呼吸窘迫综合征（ARDS）或空气泄漏综合征患者的一种选择。
