TY - JOUR PY - 2018// TI - Haemolysis and multiorgan failure after ingestion of hydrochloric acid JO - Netherlands Journal of Critical Care A1 - van Belzen-Martens, E. A1 - Trenning, T. A1 - Groenendijk, M. SP - 234 EP - 236 VL - 26 IS - 6 N2 - A 76-year-old man presented one hour after a suicide attempt with ingestion of hydrochloric acid. Complications after ingestion of hydrochloric acid depend on the concentration and the amount of acid ingested and vary from local tissue erosion to systemic effects. In this case, the described patient eventually died because of fatal multiorgan failure due to haemolysis and severe metabolic acidosis. © 2018, Netherlands Society of Intensive Care.
