Author Posts K Katie VanHoosenParticipant Mar 2, 2023 at 8:11 pm : I am interested to know the rationale behind preventing exertion in phosgene exposed patients. Is this simply to reduce the risk of alveolar exposure or is there a metabolic component? #2556 D Dave BaldwinParticipant Mar 14, 2023 at 1:47 pm : Dr. Cantrill or Dr. Pons may respond with more detail but a quick response from Dr. Pons by email was the following: It is to reduce the likelihood of sucking more phosgene down into the alveoli which increases alveolar exposure which is where it acts.
