    Author: Ravizza AG, Carugo D, Cerchiari EL, Cantadore R, Bianchi GE.
    Journal: Vet Hum Toxicol; 1982 Aug; 24(4):241-2. PubMed ID: 7051515.
    Abstract:
    A case of severe H2S intoxication, treated with oxygen, respiratory support and thiopental cerebral protection, is presented. The usual antidotal treatments using nitrites or oxygen are discussed, examining the risks of nitrite use and the efficacy of oxygen. The successful outcome of the case presented suggests that H2S poisoning be treated with oxygen and vigorous organ supportive care.
