100
What is chlorhexidine
Inhalation of this vaporized toxin can cause methemoglobinemia due to the conversion of the toxin to p-chloraniline
100
What is an endoscopy
Significant caustic ingestion of chlorhexidine would result in the need for this intervention
100
What is chlorhexidine
IV administration of this toxin can cause hemolysis due to the hypotonicity of the injected solution
200
What is hydrogen peroxide
Commercial use for this toxin may include bleaching and cleansing textiles but home use for the diluted toxin includes ear cerumen removal and enemas
200
What is hydrogen peroxide
When orally ingested, may cause airway compromise, drooling, apnea, and supraglottic narrowing
200
What is corneal damage
Eye exposure of chlorhexidine can cause this
200
What is induced emesis

What is large anion gap metabolic acidosis (conversion of formaldehyde to formic acid)
Most striking and rapid systemic manifestation of formaldehyde poisoning

500
What is formaldehyde
Causes rapid severe abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhea, AMS, coma
500
What is formaldehyde
The major mechanism of this toxin is the ability to oxidize hemoglobin and increase RBC membrane rigidity
500
What is orogastric lavage and activated charcoal
Patient with significant chlorate ingestion should undergo this intervention
500
What is inactivation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase by chlorates (enzyme required for methylene blue to effectively reduce methemoglobin)
Reason why methylene blue CANNOT be used to treat chlorate-induced methemoglobinemia
