TY - JOUR T1 - Utilization of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Induced Hypothermia After Hydrogen Sulfide Exposure JF - Respiratory Care SP - 307 LP - 310 DO - 10.4187/respcare.01038 VL - 57 IS - 2 AU - Mir J Asif AU - Matthew C Exline Y1 - 2012/02/01 UR - http://rc.rcjournal.com/content/57/2/307.abstract N2 - 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.
