Hands, necrosis of feet due to drainage

After pouring drainage into the sewage pipe blocked, the victim unexpectedly heard a loud explosion, the head of 1.2 m high water squeeze up causing severe burns.



Detergents are simple, often used by many people but are a risk of burns. Not only the skin damage, burns from the cleanser - actually acid can cause more severe injuries, difficult to treat, even fatal.

Necrotic drainage of the foot

Due to blocked domestic water pipe, Mr. Do Thanh Dung (Binh Thanh District, HCMC) bought a bottle of water through the sewer. Follow the instructions, Mr. Dung bring chemical bottles poured into the sewage pipe blocked. "I suddenly heard a loud bang, followed by a" water column "about 1.2 m high," Dung said.

Although he was dodging in time, Dung's right leg was still drained by fire. After being given first aid by rinsing under clean tap water, Mr. Dung was taken to Gia Dinh Hospital by his family.

After more than two weeks of treatment with antibiotics, high-dose anti-inflammatory drugs, patches, medicine, daily visits, the burns deep on his feet still necrosis. The doctors had to cut, remove the necrotic parts and transplant foot skin for Mr. Dung. Longest filter to 16 cm. The cost of treatment is nearly 20 million VND but doctors diagnosed with acid burns can not recover as originally.

Similarly, Mr. Le Danh Dung (District 12) also did not lose sight of the unexpected accident on July 2-7. Since the sink in the house is blocked, he went to the water supply is advised to buy water through the sewer, just pour in a few minutes after it will be exhausted. According to Dung, after buying bottled water through the sewer, according to the owner's instructions and instructions on the label, he poured the solution directly into the sink and planned to wait a bit for the decomposition. flush. However, after pouring the chemical in a few seconds, the sink fires and there is a small explosion. Because of unexpected, not timely response, he burned his entire right arm.

At the Department of Cosmetic Surgery, Ward Trung Vuong Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Dung was diagnosed with second degree burns, grade 3 due to acid.

Chemical burns are very dangerous

Not only do detergents such as acid-laden sewage cause burns. At Trung Vuong Burns Department, doctors regularly receive burns caused by detergents at different levels.

According to TS-BS Pham Trinh Quoc Khanh, Head of the Department of Cosmetic-Plastic Surgery, Trung Vuong BV, usually detergents, mosquito sprayers, insecticides are familiar things to people but there are potential risks. causing burns, acid burns for the user.

Dr. Khanh for example: "Recently, the hospital received a patient suffering from burns due to use of a mosquito sprayer. Patients buy mosquito spray bottles home, close the door and spray a large amount to kill mosquitoes. However, after the fire is over, he opened the door to fire the candle light flames flare up due to chemical concentration in the room is too much. Patients with minor burns on treatment here. "

According to Dr Khanh, in any case of burns, any substance that is attached to the victim should also wash immediately and wash continuously for 15-30 minutes under the tap, do not use any substance. Flushing continuously, the first will float and dilute the chemical remains on the wound. Second, the heat response is reduced by chemical exposure. Burns due to the concentration of chemicals often cause deep damage, difficult treatment and often leave severe sequelae.

Exchanging with Ho Chi Minh City law, a representative of a detergent manufacturing company, said that many cases of explosive or explosive drainage are caused by the user's failure to follow the instructions. For strong sewerage water, do not use any other chemicals for 24 hours prior to using the product, to avoid chemical reactions that cause a fire. In addition, experts also note not to use this chemical for aluminum pipes, stainless steel, iron ...

Prof. Phan Anh Ba Khoi, lecturer at the Polytechnic University, analyzed: The composition of the strong drainage water contains 50% sulfuric acid (H2SO4), a dangerous acid. H2SO4 is one of three powerful inorganic acids, often causing deep burns when exposed to the human body. Due to its strong oxidizing properties, when it acts on the human body, the acid destroys the tissue structure such as skin, fat, tendons, muscles ... causing necrosis from the outside in the body's protein secretion mechanism. Almost any part of the body that is in direct contact with sulfuric acid will be susceptible to damage and leave severe sequelae.

Sulfuric acid can cause tissue damage, especially on the mucous membranes of the eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Skin contact can cause burns. Even inhaling sulfuric acid also causes severe respiratory tract irritation characterized by coughing, choking or shortness of breath, which is more severe than severe exposures and can lead to death. In addition, this chemical has the potential for chronic health effects, carcinogenic effects, can be toxic to the kidneys, lungs, cardiovascular ...
