A Multidrug Therapy for Hydrocarbon Aspiration With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome After Exposure to Oral Benzine Intake: A Case Report.

Oral benzine intake with suicidal tendencies is an uncommon life-threatening respiratory emergency without a treatment regimen.  A 50-year-old man attempted suicide with 100 ml of oral benzine intake and developed severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with hydrocarbon aspiration. He received mechanical ventilation with placement in the prone position and low tidal volume, neuromuscular blocking agents, bronchoalveolar lavage, steroid pulse therapy, antibiotics, and sivelestat sodium hydrate. He was transferred to the psychiatric hospital five days after admission without any adverse events. ARDS associated with oral benzine intake could be treated with general treatments for ARDS.
