Overview
Some of the risk factors for the formation of [[methemoglobinemia] include topical use of various anesthetics, drinking contaminated with nitrates water or eating solid food contaminated with nitrates.
Risk Factors
1. Anesthetics
Topical benzocaine and lidocaine are commonly used in general anesthesia to facilitate the intubation in awake patients and can cause methemoglobinemia.[1] [2] [3]
2. Contaminated well water
In premature infants and infants younger than 4 months, contaminated with nitrates water can induce methemoglobinemia. Most cases occur due to contaminated well water by nitrates sprayed on different vegetables etc. [4]ref> [www.epa.gov/dwstandardsregulations]</ref>
3. Solid foods
Solid foods that are not well cooked, like vegetables high in nitrates, can induce methemoglobinemia in premature infants and infants younger than 4 months.
