Results: A total of 320 computer and electronic duster spray inhalation-related injuries were identified, resulting in a national estimate of 14,715 (95% confidence interval 11,120-18,311) such injuries. The distribution by selected variables was determined for the resulting cases as well as a weighted estimate.
Cases were computer and electronic duster spray inhalation-related injuries included in NEISS during 2001-2017. Methods: Data were obtained from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), a database of consumer product-related injuries collected from the EDs of approximately 100 hospitals in the US.
Objectives: Describe computer and electronic duster spray inhalation-related injuries managed at United States (US) emergency departments (EDs). Intentional inhalation of computer and electronic duster sprays to induce intoxication, also known as huffing, may cause serious adverse effects and even death. Background: Computer and electronic duster sprays contain halogenated hydrocarbon gases.
