N2  - We determined the complaints, clinical and laboratory results and therapy of cases of chlorine gas inhalation in emergency department.  8 Chlorine gas inhalation cases who exposured to chlorine gas in factory tank care, admitted to Dörtyol Goverment Hospital emergency department october 2010 were evaluted prospectively, complaints, phsical examination signs, arterial blood gases, lung-X ray results and treatment modolities were evaluted.  Mean age of the cases was 26.5±4.9, 6 of cases were men. 5 cases were discharged after observation. 3 cases were observed and treated in intensity care service. There was coughing in all cases, dsypne wheezing and chest pain in 4 cases, burning sensation in the throat and eye in 2 cases, headache in 1 case. Mean systolic arterial pressure of case was 108.3±16.3 mm-Hg, mean diastolic arterial pressure was ise 64.6±8.9 mm- Hg, mean pulse rate was 76.5±18.5/minutes, minute respiratory rate was 19±4.2, Arterial blood gases results were PH:7,40, PO2: 85.1± 22.4, PCO2: 33.1±3.3, HCO3: 20.8±2.9, Sat%O2: 95.3±3.7, A-a gradient: 25.7±14.3. Ronchus and long expiration time was determined in 4 cases, lung-X ray of case were normal, 4 case were treated by oxygen and steroid, 4 cases were treated by oxygen, steroid and bronchodilatator. RADS was estabilished in 1 case.  Chlorine gas inhalation can seen common and may affect the airways mildly or way case more severe clinical outcames as RADS.
