Abstract: Automotive antifreeze, being colorless and odorless, can easily cause acute poisoning if ingested. Acute poisoning can lead to damage to the central nervous system, digestive system, and kidney function, and may even result in death. This article analyzes the clinical data, diagnostic and therapeutic processes, and outcomes of two patients admitted to the Department of Poisoning and Occupational Diseases, Emergency Medicine of Qilu Hospital, Shandong University, who suffered acute poisoning due to ingesting antifreeze. The findings aim to provide a reference for clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of antifreeze poisoning.
