  2. Acute inhalation injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_Inhalation_Injury

    Ammonia is generally used in household cleaning products, as well as on farms and in some industrial and commercial locations, and this makes it easy for accidental or deliberate exposure to occur. [15] [16] [17] Ammonia interacts with moist surfaces to form ammonium hydroxide, which causes necrosis of tissues. Exposure to high concentrations ...

  3. Hyperammonemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperammonemia

    Hyperammonemia, or high ammonia levels, is a metabolic disturbance characterised by an excess of ammonia in the blood. Severe hyperammonemia is a dangerous condition that may lead to brain injury and death. It may be primary or secondary. Ammonia is a substance that contains nitrogen. It is a product of the catabolism of protein.

  4. Aspiration pneumonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspiration_pneumonia

    By reducing the amount of bacteria in the mouth, the likelihood of infection when aspiration occurs is reduced as well. [22] For people who are critically ill that require a feeding tube, there is evidence suggesting that the risk of aspiration pneumonia may be reduced by inserting the feeding tube into the duodenum or the jejunum (post-pyloric ...

  5. Pulmonary aspiration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary_aspiration

    Particularly common in children, foreign-body aspiration occurs when an object is inhaled from the mouth into the airway. Objects commonly include food, coins, toys and balloons. [ 9 ] Age and developmental delays are therefore also considered risk factors for aspiration.

  7. Transient hyperammonemia of the newborn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_hyperammonemia...

    Severe Transient Hyperammonemia is diagnosed when ammonia levels are above 50 μM up to as much as 4000 μM. Severe Transient Hyperammonemia causes neurological problems as ammonia levels in the brain are too high, which can cause infant hyptotonia as well as neonatal seizures. [ 5 ]

  8. Smelling salts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelling_salts

    Exposure to ammonia gas in large concentrations for prolonged periods is toxic and can be fatal. [1] [5] If a high concentration of ammonia is inhaled too close to the nostril, it might burn the nasal or oral mucosa. The suggested distance is 10–15 centimetres (4–6 in). [1]

  9. Hyperventilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperventilation

    Hyperventilation is irregular breathing that occurs when the rate or tidal volume of breathing eliminates more carbon dioxide than the body can produce. [1] [2] [3] This leads to hypocapnia, a reduced concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in the blood.
