Özet
Like skin, respiratory system is continously in contact with external factors and exposure to toxins is unavoidable. Severity of symptoms depend on the type of toxin and several other conditions. For the diagnosis, therapy and discharge from a hospital, a detailed history and physical examination is mandatory. Knowledge of factors such as circumstances and location of the exposure, the agents, products and odors used, number of occasions and conditions of exposure may all effect diagnosis and treatment. The identification of spesific toxic inhalant may sometimes be imposible or unnecessary. Treatment of intoxications due to inhalation of toxic materials is largely based on their clinical presentations. However identifying responsible toxins is important for selection of some spesific antidotes (hyperbaric oxygen, cyanide antidote kit) or to decide the length of the observation period (delayed non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema). Usually, the presence of trauma (fire, industrial accidents) or drug overdose along with toxic inhalation further complicates the issue. These principles must be considered in diagnosis.
