Sym.3 Box-jellyfish, Chiropsalmus quadrigatus and other dangerous marine animals in Okinawa Prefecture : 3. First aid and medical treatment

1 The approximate lethal dose (ALD) of six chlorinated hydrocarbons via the intratracheal route has been determined in rats and compared with published oral LD50 values. 2 The compounds tested in this study were dichloromethane, perchloroethylene, trichloroethylene, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform and ethylene dichloride. 3 A method of administering the materials intratracheally to unanaesthetized animals was developed. 4 The intratracheal ALD of the chlorinated hydrocarbons ranged from 3.1 to 17.5% of the oral LD 50 and death was peracute. 5 Aspiration of chlorinated hydrocarbons may present more of a hazard than oral toxicity and should be considered when rendering first aid or emergency medical treatment.

Practical Guide

This book is an unusually detailed and comprehensive revision of an encyclopedic reference source on the composition of thousands of chemicals and a correlated practical guide to the first-aid and medical treatment of poisonings. It is an extremely useful resource for hospitals and physicians in the handling of accidental and intentional poisonings. A new (8th) section has been added to the book based on the 1961 edition of Standard Nomenclature of Diseases and Operations and this should promote uniform classification of poisonings thus facilitating research and distribution of clinical data and experience in this area.
