  1. INTOXICATIONS Prof. Özge Köner Anesthesiology Dept

  2. Paracelsus(1493–1541) "Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy." Dose make the poison

  3. THE POISONOUS APPLE

  4. War & terrorism Suicide Biological factors Occupational Home accident Environment

  5. Children 1)Gas, smoke & vapor 2) Drugs: Fe preparates Analgesics Cleaning material 3)Toxic plant & animal venom Adults 1)Gas, smoke & vapor 2) Drugs: Tricyclic Antidepressants Narcotics Teophyllin 3)Toxic plant & animal venom Toxins

  6. POISON RESPIRATORY SYS SKIN GIS BLOOD ORGAN & TISSUE DISTRIBUTION TOXICITY Storage Elimination Metabolism Active Metabolite

  7. Asetaminophen Etilen glikol Metanol Arsenic Benzen Kloral hidrate Chloroform Codein Anilin Isopropanol Parathion Sulfanilamid Tri-o-kresol fosfat Heptachlor Imipramin Dimetil nitrozamid Karbon tetrachlorur Metabolism into a more toxic substance

  8. Skin - Gastrointestinal System Scrotum>Forehead>Axilla>Head > Abdomen > Dorsum of hand-foot (Stratum corneum of dorsum of the hand & foot is 100-400 times thicker). • Esophageus epitelium prevents absorbsion. • Maximum absorbsion is from Small Bowel (pH=6), stomach follows SB (pH=1-3).

  9. Respiratory System • Gases, solvents, vapor • Aerosol, particules, smoke a) Mucous trap in trachea b) Phagositosis in lungs lymphatic system. Clara cells: • Clara cell protein • Prevent airway collapse • Increased serum levels decrease LUNG DAMAGE. Detoxification of the toxic subtances (Along with CYP-450)

  14. Baldıran otu, Ağu otu, Yılan otu(Conium Maculatum, Hemlock) • Piperidine alkaloid coniine. • 6-8 gr fresh leave lead to death.Lethal dose:12 gr/kg. • Nausea, vomiting, hypersalivation, midriasis, diplopia, numbness, tachycardia-bradycardia, respiratory insufficiency., • Neurotoxin: CNS depression. • Hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity

  15. Grayanotoxin poisoning(Deli Bal Zehirlenmesi) • Flowers of the Rhododendron plant. “Rhododendrondisease”. • Rhododendron Ponticais a plant of Black Sea region. It is also grown in China, North America, Korea, Caucasia, Georgia, British islands, Spain & Portugal.

  16. Grayanotoxin poisoning • Severity of the intoxication depends on the ingested amount of honey. Intake < 30 g may be safe. • Toxin binds to Na channels of the cellular wall. Incessant depolarization fascilitates calcium entry into the cell. Toxineffects • Skeletal & cardiac muscles, nerves and CNS. • Confusion, AV block, hypotension, shock.

  17. Grayanotoxin poisoning Lord Blackwood

  18. Snake Poisoning • There are 12 poisonous and 29 nonpoisonous snake species in Turkey. • Poisonous snakes: Viperidae,Elapidae(Engerek, Kobra)

  19. Snake Poisoning • Skin Necrosis: Local swelling, lenf node enlargement & compartment syn, rhabdomyolysis • Renal insufficiency • Hematoxin: Prevents clotting: Bleeding & DIC. • Neurotoxin: Prevents neurotransmitter release from presinaptic motor nerve endings; blocks postsynaptic Ach receptors. Respiratory insufficiency • Cardiotoxin: Hypotension & cardiac arest.

  20. LEAD POISONING • CNS: Encephalopathy, Coma, convulsion • Nephropathy • Hypertension • Blocks heme synthesis: • Microcytic anemia • Reticulocytosis • Increased urinary δ-ALA • Gingival bands • Opaque metaphyseal bands in upper and lower tibia & femur *Science vol.315,1669.2007 *Troeska W. Great Water pipe Disaster,2006

  21. Lead POISONING Symptoms: Digestivesystemdisorders, Irritability, Deafness. • Hairand bone sampleanalysis of thecomposer has revealedthatLudwig van Beethovenwasdied of chronicleadintoxication. 1770-1827

  22. Lead poisoning • Leaded gasoline • Food (Spice, herbs) • Pica • Lead pigmented paints • Occupational • Retained bullet • Pipes, ceramic, glass • IV fluid (09% saline) • Seizure control, brain edema treatment • Chelating agents: intestinal irrigation with “polyethylene glycol” • Encephalopathy Ca-EDTA, BAL (British anti-lewisite) • No encephalopathy Ca-EDTA, DMSA (succimer) • Oral d-penicillamine ? More side effects THERAPY:

  23. MERCURY POISONING • Composition of dental amalgam • 49% Mercury • 35% Silver • 9% Zinc • 6% Copper Seafood,batteries,thermometers • > 1000 died in Minnamata (Japan) between1932-68 due to sea food which was contaminated with mercury., • 459 died in Irak in1971 due to the seed grains treated with a mercury based fungucide. • Methyl mercury inhibits Piruvat Dehydrogenase irreversibly.

  24. MERCURY POISONING Neurotoxicity: Ataxia, tremor, seizures Psychiatric: Anxiety, agitation Visual deficits Respiratory distress syndrome (mercury vapor) Nephrotoxicity Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea

  25. MERCURY POISONING TREATMENT • Chelating agents: • Oral DMSA/Succimer (2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid) may enhance urinary Hg excretion; (penicillamine more side effect) • IMBAL (British Anti-Lewisite) avoid if metallic or organic mercury intox • GIS decontamination (in acute events): Active Charcoal Gastric lavage (solutions containing milk, egg white) • Whole bowel irrigation along with polyethylene glycol solution

  26. Tetrachloro-dibenzo-dioksin (TCDD) • Accumulates in fat • Half life is 7 years • Contaminated water, food; • >90% of human exposure is through food (meat & dairy products, fish, shellfish, egg, milk cheese) • Chloracne • Carcinogen in high dose • Thyroid disease • CNS-Peripheric nerve pathology • Diabetes • Immune system defects

  28. Agent Orange(TCDD) • USA airforce released 45 million L“Agent Orange” to kill the Vietkongs hiding into the forest for 6 years during Vietnam war. JM Stellmann, Nature, 17 April 2003, p.681

  29. PARACETAMOL POISONING • Max daily adult dose: 4 gr. • 90% metabolized in liver, excreted in urine. • 10% metab via CYP2E1 to toxic NAPQI (N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine), which binds to hepatocytes, lead to hepatic cell lysis. • Fatal/non-fatal liver necrosis. • Chronic alcohol use increases the toxicity incidence. Peak effect occurs within 1 hour

  38. CARBON MONOXIDE • Fires, malfunctioning stoves, exhaust systems, heaters, suicide • High affinity to Hb (240 times higher than O2) • Impairs O2 delivery: hypoxia. Diagnosis: • SpO2 is not sensitive • Blood COHb level (normal < 3%) should be assessed. • Smoke inhalation: detect blood cyanide levels.

  39. CARBON MONOXIDE Headache, Nausea, Dizziness, Vertigo, Fatigue, Confusion, COMA, CONVULSION, STROKE. Angina pectoris, Myocardial ischemia/infarction, Troponin , Hypotension, Supraventricular/Ventricular dysrhythmia
