Ether poisoning

Ether (ethylether), a kind of ether, is one of the ancient synthetic organic compounds. It is a colorless liquid, highly volatile, special smell, and flammable. It is often used in the preparation of various industrial preparations and anesthetics. Acute ether poisoning (ether poisoning) is mostly caused by excessive dosage, high concentration or dripping too fast during anesthesia, occasionally caused by accidental drinking. Some patients are allergic to ether. Ether poisoning in pregnant women can cause fetal or neonatal poisoning.
