==Background==
*Simple asphyxiant
**Inert gases that displace oxygen and decrease FiO2
*Lighter than air
*Explosive
*Natural production by bacteria in GI tract of humans, other animals

==Clinical Features==
*Wide range, nonspecific
**Tachycardia
**Tachypnea
**Headache
**Confusion
**Nausea/vomiting
**LOC
**Coma
**Cardiac arrest

==Differential Diagnosis==
*Toxic chemical asphyxiant exposure
**[[CO toxicity]]
**[[Inhalant abuse]]
*[[Methemoglobinemia]]
*Altitude related illness
*Primary CNS disease
*ACS

==Evaluation==
===History===
*Confined space, particularly at work
**Mining
**Large scale animal farming
**Fossil fuel industry
**Organic decomposition
*Other people exposed may have similar symptoms
===Workup===
*Oxygen saturation - decreased, should improve with removal from exposure
*No definitive test for methane
*Consider other diagnostic testing to rule out other causes if unsure exposure or lack of improvement:
**EKG
**CXR
**Head CT
**ABG
**Carboxyhemoglobin
===Diagnosis===
*Clinical/diagnosis of exclusion
**Often based on history of exposure

==Management==
*Supplemental oxygen
*Other supportive care as indicated

==Disposition==
*Discharge
**If stable vitals, improved mental status, and otherwise asymptomatic
*Admit
**If needed for further supportive care
