Abstract

Objective To investigate the CT manifestations and prognosis of paraquat poisoning lung injury. Methods 48 paraquat poisoning patients from our hospital were selected and the CT features of lung injury were analyzed. Results CT results showed that patients with lung increased, lung membrane lesions, pulmonary parenchymal lesions, pulmonary interstitial lung disease, bronchial dilatation and other symptoms. In 7 days after poisoning, 48 patients died in 9 patients, and the remaining patients had different degrees of disease. In 8-14 days, the remaining 39 cases of paraquat patients died of a total of 5 cases, the rest of the patients had more progressive symptoms than those of 7 days. 15 days after poisoning, the remaining 34 patients died in 4 patients, the rest of the patients with CT symptoms were relieved. Conclusion The CT manifestations of lung injury induced by paraquat poisoning were positively correlated with the development of clinical disease, which was suitable for clinical application.
