| Toxizitätsübersicht | IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Antimony trifluoride exists in three known crystallin modifications. It is used to catalyze fluorinations by hydrogen fluoride, manufacture of chlorofluorides, in dyeing, usually in form of double salts, manufacture of pottery and porcelains. HUMAN STUDIES: Symptoms of exposure include severe gastritis or gastroenteritis with abdominal pain, retching, and prolonged vomiting, beginning 10-60 min after ingestion. Vomitus may become bloody. Diarrhea is observed, and the feces are watery and later tarry. Dehydration becomes intense. The exposure could further progress to shock, pallor, cyanosis, and coldness, rapid, weak or imperceptible pulse, low blood pressure, rapid and shallow respirations. Sometimes breathing is deep and rapid, reflecting an accompanying metabolic acidosis. Drowsiness, hyporeflexia, dilated pupils, coma could be observed. Vasomotor instability, shock or coma, and a serum iron level in great excess of the total iron binding capacity are poor prognostic signs. Liver injury can occur, consisting of hemorrhagic necrosis which is usually reversible. Death from shock, usually in 4-5 hr. Sometimes following apparent recovery, pneumonia with fever or secondary shock may cause death 1-3 days later. Among survivors, pyloric stenosis and mild hepatic cirrhosis may be encountered as persistent sequelae, but recovery is usually complete. ANIMAL STUDIES: Intratracheal administration in rats produced death at all doses greater than 1.5 mg. Lung, adrenal, and kidney weights increased in the antimony trifluoride-treated animals. In acute fluoride poisoning, fluoride ion increases capillary permeability and also produces a coagulation defect. These actions lead to hemorrhagic gastroenteritis and hemorrhages, congestion, and edema in various organs including the brain. Clinical manifestations include excitability, muscle tremors, weakness, urination, defecation, salivation, emesis, sudden collapse, clonic convulsions, coma, and death due to respiratory and cardiac failure. Chronic manifestations of excess fluoride in cattle are dental fluorosis and osteofluorosis. Chronic inhalation of subtoxic doses of antimony salts causes interstitial pneumonitis, intraalveolar lipoid deposits, and liver and cardiac damage. |

| Antidote and Emergency Treatment | Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand-valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR as necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Fluorine and related compounds/Basic treatment: Establish a patent airway (oropharyngeal or nasopharyngeal airway, if needed). Suction if necessary. Watch for signs of respiratory insufficiency and assist ventilations if necessary. Administer oxygen by nonrebreather mask at 10 to 15 L/min. Monitor for pulmonary edema and treat if necessary ... . Monitor for shock and treat if necessary ... . Anticipate seizures and treat if necessary ... . For eye contamination, flush eyes immediately with water. Irrigate each eye continuously with 0.9% saline (NS) during transport ... . Do not use emetics. For ingestion, rinse mouth and administer 5 mL/kg up to 200 mL of water for dilution if the patent can swallow, has a strong gag reflex, and does not drool. ... . Cover skin burns with dry sterile dressings after decontamination ... . /Fluorine and related compounds/Advanced treatment: Consider orotracheal or nasotracheal intubation for airway control in the patient who is unconscious, has severe pulmonary edema, or is in severe respiratory distress. Positive-pressure ventilation techniques with a bag valve mask device may be beneficial. Consider drug therapy for pulmonary edema ... . Monitor cardiac rhythm and treat arrhythmias if necessary ... . Start IV administration of D5W /SRP: "To keep open", minimal flow rate/. Use 0.9% saline (NS) or lactated Ringer's (LR) if signs of hypovolemia are present. For hypotension with signs of hypovolemia, administer fluid cautiously. Consider vasopressors if patient is hypotensive with a normal fluid volume. Watch for signs of fluid overload ... . Treat seizures with diazepam or lorazepam ... .
