N2  - Fluorinated hydrocarbons cause toxicity in humans via their dysrhythmogenic potential and their local physical effects on the skin and mucous membranes. The former is generally the more life-threatening toxic consequence. We present a case of fluorinated hydrocarbon injury resulting from an intentional inhalation exposure that created facial frostbite, which threatened the patient's airway. The clinical range and management of these tissue-toxic effects are reviewed.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
