This study analyzed the clinical characteristics of 8 patients with respiratory tract paraquat poisoning. It was found that they were mainly exposed to paraquat through inhalation, resulting in ocular and respiratory irritation. Lung injury manifested as exudative lesions. Early use of glucocorticoids and comprehensive treatment measures, along with active prevention and treatment of lung infections, had beneficial effects on the patients.
ObjectiveIn January 2023, a rare event of collective inhalation paraquat poisoning occurred in Shandong, China. To analyze the clinical characteristics of an event of respiratory tract paraquat poisoning through inhalation.MethodsClinical data from eight patients with paraquat inhalation poisoning were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsThe patients were mainly exposed to paraquat via the respiratory tract. The main clinical manifestations were ocular and respiratory irritation. Lung computed tomography (CT) showed that all eight patients had varying degrees of lung injury, mainly manifesting as exudative lesions. Laboratory tests revealed arterial blood gas hypoxemia, abnormal white blood cell count, and increased neutrophil ratio. Sufficient glucocorticoid impact therapy was effective, and all eight patients survived.ConclusionEight patients experienced chest tightness, shortness of breath, and varying degrees of lung injury due to inhalation of paraquat through the respiratory tract. The early use of glucocorticoids and other comprehensive treatment measures, active prevention and treatment of lung infections, and protection of organ function have beneficial effects in such cases.
