Accidental liquid ammonia exposure caused severe cold thermal injury and systemic toxicity, leading to fatal outcomes. New symptoms like flaccid quadriparesis and bradycardia were observed in prolonged ammonia exposure cases.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Environmental Health
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Gas toxicity is influenced by exposure duration, concentration, and chemical properties.
  • Pressurized liquids and gases can cause cold thermal injury, complicating clinical presentations.

Observation:

  • A case of accidental, prolonged liquid ammonia exposure is presented.
  • The patient exhibited cutaneous, respiratory, and ocular damage, alongside severe frostbite.

Findings:

  • The patient developed flaccid quadriparesis and bradycardia, previously unreported in ammonia exposure.
  • These findings suggest potential systemic toxicity from prolonged ammonia exposure.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the severe risks associated with prolonged liquid ammonia exposure.
