Presentation
To determine the efficacy of a clean-in-place system for the inactivation of viruses present in human plasma, the effect of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide at 60 degrees C on viral infectivity was investigated. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
It is commonly present in commercial drain and oven cleaners. [cdc.gov]
Sodium hydroxide is a highly corrosive substance that when present in solid form, releases heat on contact with water. [acronyms.thefreedictionary.com]
Entire Body System
- Swelling
Inhaled sodium hydroxide can cause swelling of the larynx and an accumulation of fluid in the lungs. [atsdr.cdc.gov]
AIRWAYS AND LUNGS Breathing difficulty (from inhaling sodium hydroxide) Lung inflammation Sneezing Throat swelling (which may also cause breathing difficulty) ESOPHAGUS, INTESTINES, AND STOMACH Blood in the stool Burns of the esophagus (food pipe) and [medlineplus.gov]
A single sodium ion can attract up to 25 water molecules, so the more sodium there is in our bloodstream, the greater the volume of fluid that can swell our veins. So salt is good for us in limited quantities. [bbc.co.uk]
- Gastric Lavage
Gastric lavage is useful in certain circumstances to remove caustic material and prepare for endoscopic examination. [atsdr.cdc.gov]
- Fever
Chlorine water was employed in obstetric wards to prevent puerperal fever in 1826, and fumigation with chlorine was practiced during the great European cholera epidemic. [web.archive.org]

- Vomiting
Also, DO NOT give water or milk if the person is having symptoms that make it hard to swallow (such as vomiting, convulsions, or decreased alertness). If the person breathed in the poison, move them to fresh air right away. [medlineplus.gov]
Gastrointestinal Ingestion of sodium hydroxide can cause spontaneous vomiting, chest and abdominal pain, and difficulty swallowing with drooling. [atsdr.cdc.gov]
Do not induce vomiting. P303+P361+P353: If on skin (or hair): Take off immediately all contaminated clothing. Rinse skin with water/shower. P305+P351+P338: If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. [kremer-pigmente.com]
