ethylene glycol and Emergencies

ethylene glycol has been researched along with Emergencies in 11 studies

Ethylene Glycol: A colorless, odorless, viscous dihydroxy alcohol. It has a sweet taste, but is poisonous if ingested. Ethylene glycol is the most important glycol commercially available and is manufactured on a large scale in the United States. It is used as an antifreeze and coolant, in hydraulic fluids, and in the manufacture of low-freezing dynamites and resins.
ethanediol : Any diol that is ethane or substituted ethane carrying two hydroxy groups.
ethylene glycol : A 1,2-glycol compound produced via reaction of ethylene oxide with water.

Emergencies: Situations or conditions requiring immediate intervention to avoid serious adverse results.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" This review will focus on the biochemistry of numerous clinical syndromes, including methemoglobinemia, various poisoning presentations, including cyanide, methanol, and ethylene glycol--with an emphasis on the diagnostic and management considerations in these presentations."4.88Biochemical issues in emergency medicine: diagnostic and therapeutic considerations of selected toxic presentations. ( Brady, WJ; Charlton, N; Saeui, C, 2012)
" Although initial response to all pediatric poisonings begins with basic stabilization, knowledge of specific antidotes, their mechanisms of action, safety profile in pediatrics, and dosing regimens can be life-saving for pediatric victims of nerve gas exposure, acetaminophen toxicity, methanol and ethylene glycol ingestion, and snakebites."2.43Update on antidotes for pediatric poisoning. ( Liebelt, EL; White, ML, 2006)
"Ethylene glycol has long been recognized as a potentially lethal poison and remains available today as automotive antifreeze and windshield deicer fluids."1.28Accidental and intentional poisonings with ethylene glycol in infancy: diagnostic clues and management. ( Saladino, R; Shannon, M, 1991)
