Respiratory failure and central nervous system injury caused by mixed gas poisoning after inhaling naphtha vapor: three case reports
Inhalation of naphtha vapor led to varying degrees of respiratory failure and neurological impairment in all three patients. Based on on - site sampling analysis and laboratory tests, it was determined that this incident was a poisoning incident caused by inhalation of a mixed gas mainly composed of hydrogen sulfide and alkane gases due to non - compliant operations. Early electrocardiogram monitoring combined with imaging evaluation played a crucial role in guiding clinical management and improving outcomes.
