What is itGas poisoningWhat
Gas poisoning isCarbon monoxidePoison. Carbon monoxide, the main component of what we know as the so-called “gas”, is colourless, odourless, non-irrigating, and carbon monoxide is not so different in density from normal air that it can be fully integrated with air, so carbon monoxide accumulation in air is not easy for you to find. Blood is more than 200 times more capable of combining hemoglobin with carbon monoxide than oxygen, and hemoglobin is very slowly separated from oxygen. Thus, once carbon monoxide is inhaled, oxygen loses the opportunity to bind to haemoglobin, preventing tissue cells from obtaining sufficient oxygen from blood and making breathing difficult. Gas poisoning in the household refers mainly to carbon monoxide poisoning, liquefied petroleum gas, pipe gas and gas poisoning。

What are the common causes of gas poisoning
1. Lives without a pipe from coal or with a pipe which is blocked and leaks。
2. Indoor cooking with carbon-fired pots and barbecue meals, while windows and doors are not properly ventilated, can easily cause carbon monoxide to remain for too long。
3. Large quantities of carbon monoxide are generated at fire sites。
In winter, cars are launched in small cars with closed doors and windows, generating large amounts of carbon monoxide-containing exhaust gas。
5. Gas heaters were not properly installed。
The use of pipe gas by urban dwellers, with carbon monoxide concentrations ranging from 25 to 30 per cent in pipelines, can cause poisoning if the pipeline leaks, the switch is not tight or the flames in the boil are extinguished。

What are the types of gas poisoning
Three types of gas poisoning are common because of the concentration of carbon monoxide in the air and the duration of the poisoning:
Light: short-term poisoning, 10% - 20% haemoglobin in blood. Early symptoms of poisoning, such as dizziness, heart palpitation, nausea, vomiting, weakness of limbs and even brief fainting, are generally sober。
Medium: a slightly longer period of poisoning, 30 to 40 per cent of haemoglobin carbon dioxide in the blood and, on the basis of light symptoms, there are signs such as sweating, irritating, unstable walking, pale skin, blurred consciousness, fatigue, fallout or coma, and the skin and mucous membrane display cherry red, which is unique to gas poisoning。
Heavy: late detection, excessive inhalation of gas or, at short notice, high concentrations of carbon monoxide, blood haemoglobin concentrations of more than 50 per cent, deep coma, loss of reflections, incontinence of faeces, cold limbs, drop of blood pressure, rapid breathing and death。

What are the measures to treat gas poisoning
1. Patients should be removed from the poisoning environment as soon as possible, transferred to open ventilated outdoors and immediately open doors and windows to air. If a gas source is found, the gas switch should be shut down quickly。
2. Untie clothing buttons, keep breathing channels open, remove nose and nose secretions, and ensure that the patient breathes autonomously and is fully inhaled with oxygen。
3. The patient shall rest in peace, avoiding increased heart, lung burden and increased oxygen consumption after the activity。
Intoxicant patients must be removed from the poisoning environment as soon as possible and their breathing, pulse and blood pressure must be checked for the shortest possible time and treated as a matter of urgency。
5. If the breathing heart stops, artificial breathing and heart pressure shall be performed immediately。
When the condition is stabilized, patients are escorted to the hospital for further examination and treatment as soon as possible。
7. Seek to reduce after-effects by providing early treatment in high-pressure oxygen compartments. Oxygen module treatment should be provided even slightly and moderately。

2, 30 ml of vinegar, 50 g of sugar, mixed and watered。

How to prevent gas poisoning
1. When heating by a coal stove in the winter, the stove shall first be filled with a pipe, and shall check whether the stove and the pipe are leaking, whether the pipe is plugged and smooth, and determine the direction of the smoke to be discharged in accordance with the local wind direction in order to prevent the cooling of the wind。
2 as the saying goes, “i prefer to be cold and clean and not smoke”. When you sleep at night, do not block the doors of fire, and there should be vents inside the house to keep an eye on the circulation of indoor air。
3. Newly produced coal stoves, which are most likely to produce carbon monoxide, should be ventilated in a timely manner and should be closed when the stove is hot. The burning of the burning ash should be cleared in a timely manner。
4. Enhancing security awareness. From prevention onwards, the concept of safety is first, and regular checks are made to see whether the chimneys and chimneys are leaking or blocked. After a long ceasefire, the chimneys and chimneys must be checked when the fire is repeated. Make sure you're safe。

Misawareness of gas poisoning
One of the faults: paralysis. Gas, which is colourless, odourless, invisible and untouchable, exists when many people do not think it will produce. In fact, so-called gas is carbon monoxide generated when coal is not fully burned. As long as there is coal combustion, there will be gas combustion, especially if there is insufficient oxygen supply, such as more gas generated before or when the stove will be extinguished。
Mistake 2 - freezing a person or adding vinegar or sour soup can detoxify. Following gas poisoning, light persons can recover gradually by moving the patient to fresh air, and the use of high-pressure oxygen tanks for treatment of heavy persons is effective. However, cold and vinegar and sour soup do not have the effect of detoxifying the gas, and if the patient is brought to a cold place, it can cause the patient to suffer from cold or co-inflammation with pneumonia, or have serious consequences by delaying rescue time。
Mistake iii: some believe that gas poisoning is safe after recovery. In fact, there are cases of dementia, incontinence, paraplegic paraplegia, etc. Which occur suddenly after two weeks to three months and are often misdiagnosed as cerebral haemorrhage, mental illness, etc. In fact, this is still a particular manifestation of gas poisoning, which can be prevented if the treatment is extended for a period of time。
Four error zones: cabbage, orange skin, pine branches or water can prevent gas poisoning. Some felt that gas poisoning could be prevented by the placement of cabbage, orange peels, pine branches, etc. On fire stoves, or a bowl of cool water, or by spilling water on the ground. In fact, cabbage leaves do not react chemically to carbon monoxide, and carbon monoxide does not dissolve in water, so they do not solve gas poisoning and naturally cannot prevent gas poisoning。
