ABSTRACT

On March 18, 2016, one 53 years old man with burns on perineal region and complicated by secondary multiple organ injuries by exposing to paraquat fluid was admitted to our department. Comprehensive treatment measures including protective mechanical ventilation, intensive care, vacuum sealing drainage, anti-infection, and organ protection were conducted sequentially. Through 33 days of comprehensive treatment and nursing, the patient′s condition substantially improved and he left hospital. This case presents that paraquat fluid absorption through skin and mucosa can also lead to severe systemic poisoning, and multiple organ protection is the key to improve the prognosis of this patient.
