A Clinical and Biochemical Profile of Organophosphorus Poisoning in Intensive care unit of a Private Hospital
Abstract
Introduction: Organophosphorus pesticide self-poisoning is a major clinical and public-health problem across much of rural Asia. Poisoning has been a common cause of medical admissions Hospital- based studies from five major hospitals across the country in 1999- 2000 showed OP compounds were the most common form of poisoning comprising 52% of total cases. This study was done to study prolife of patients admitted in a private hospital.
Methods: This is an observational study done for the period of one year from September 2011 to September 2012 carried out in Anamol Hospital and Research Centre. Patients were received in department of emergency and after initial management of gastric lavage and atropnization needed patients are transferred to ICU or wards. As per profroma data were collected and were entered in MS Excel and SPSS and analyzed.
Result: Analyzing the data A total of 29 patients were admitted during the study period out of which 9 patient died, patient who had high random blood sugar more than 140mg/dl, requiring atropine more than 15 mg for atropinization and patients needing ventilator were likely to die despite treatment. However low cholinesterase did not have any effect on mortality
