16
Q

T/F: Absorption is directly proportional with molecular weight?

A

FALSE

Inversely proportional

17
Q

Which type of hydrocarbons are more readily absorbed?

A

Aromatic hydrocarbons (more than aliphatic hydrocarbons)

18
Q

How are aliphatic hydrocarbons metabolized?

A

Liver by oxidation

19
Q

How are aromatic hydrocarbons metabolized?

A

Hydroxylation to phenols and carboxylic acid- excreted as conjugates with glucuronic acid, sulfuric acid, glycine in urine/bile.

20
Q

What type of hydrocarbon is excreted through the lungs partially?

A

Aliphatic

21
Q

T/F: Oily substances cannot be eliminated by coughing or ciliary action

A

TRUE

22
Q

What is the cause of death with petroleum?

A

Bacterial infection of the lungs

23
Q

What does inhalation of petroleum cause?

A

Chemical pneumonitis

24
Q

What are some CS of petroleum?

A

Aspiration pneumonia, smell of oil/kerosene and oil in feces

25
Q

What lab diagnosis can be performed to show changes of typical aspiration pneumonia?

A

Rads

26
Q

Which drugs are contraindicated?

A

Glucocorticoids

27
Q

What is the prognosis of these toxicosis cases?

A

Poor due to persistence of oil in lungs
