Abstract:Objective To explore the changes of pulmonary ventilation functions of shipboard naval personnel with acute oil-based paint poisoning and provide guidelines for labor protection of paint work in the naval vessel. Methods Nine shipboard naval personnel with acute paint poisoning hospitalized between October 2010 and October 2013 were chosen as the study group while ten healthy military personel as the control group. The clinical symptoms, biochemical indexes and effect of treatment were observed, and pulmonary ventilation functions were analyzed. Results All the nine patients in study group felt dizzy and weak, and their levels of alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, total bilirubin, creatine kinase all increased while their blood potassium, fibrinogen, arterial blood oxygen partial pressure decreased. All the patients were cured after treatment. Pulmonary ventilation function indexes returned to normal after recovery, but still lower than those in control group. The difference, however, was not statistically significant(P>0.05). Conclusion When exposed to xylene in oil-based paint in naval vessels, shipboard naval personnel is vulnerable to acute poisoning. Although the poison does not cause significant or irreversible damage to pulmonary ventilation functions, labor protection is indispensable.
