Abstract
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a colourless and odourless liquid with oxidant characteristics used for various purposes. Like other caustic substances, direct injuries may develop if H2O2 is swallowed and systemic air embolisms, Oedema and irritation may occur due to the resultant gaseous oxygen. This study discusses a patient who was detected with the presence of accidental injection of insulin syringe filled with 60 units of 30% hydrogen peroxide instead of insulin. As there is no specific antidote was available, the patient was provided with conservative management for the clinical conditions.
