Acute Poisoning With Acetic Acid in the Dynamics of the Pathological Process against the Background of Ongoing Therapy

Abstract

It is also important that VPD poisoning is characterized by severe medical, social and economic consequences such as: costly treatment, prolonged disability, disability, high mortality. Poisoning with cauterizing toxicants is characterized by high mortality. This is especially true for acetic acid, which averaged 11.7%, respectively, reaching 30.6% in a number of hospitals, and among deaths caused by caustic poisons; acetic acid amounted to 72.0%. The toxicity of acetic acid is directly proportional to its concentration in the body. 30-70% solution, called acetic essence in everyday life, causes severe chemical burns (Orlov Yu. P., Vasiliev S. A. 2016)
