[Poisoning by hypochlorite-containing disinfectants. A retrospective analysis of 594 cases of poisoning].

Hypochlorite-containing disinfectants or bleaching fluids, if inhaled, may lead to life-threatening poisoning (56% of moderately severe cases, 5% of severe cases) through the immediate liberation of chlorine gas, if they are used together with another cleansing fluid which is very acid. A rough estimate suggests that there must be about 700 cases of such poisonings per year in the Federal Republic of Germany. The characteristic symptom is a respiratory distress syndrome when the liberated chlorine gas is inhaled. Toxic pulmonary oedema and cardiovascular failure can occur if the poisoning takes a fulminating course.

[Poisoning with leather-impregnation sprays. A retrospective analysis of 224 cases of poisoning].

Annually, there are about 100-200 intoxications in the Federal Republic of Germany caused by inhalation of leather impregnation sprays. The course of these intoxications is moderately severe in 60% and severe in 18% of the cases. The signs and symptoms are characterized by a respiratory distress syndrome which sets in about 15-60 min after spraying and which requires several days of hospitalisation in severe cases. The sprays contain about 7-11 components; their toxicity is not exclusively associated with one substance only. Lower toxicity can be achieved by preparing a basic formulation adjusted to the low-hazard components.

[Electronic data processing in anaesthesia. Development of a data collection form and organisation of data collection (author's transl)].

We report on the development of a data collection form for anaesthesia. The difference between this form and the previously published recommendations is that it does not require any coding of data prior to collection. The anaesthetist completing the form needs no knowledge of data processing. Qualitative data have only to be marked, while quantitative data must be entered as such. So far, more than 90,000 anaesthesias have been collected with the form presented, therefore usefulness may be assumed.
