Abstract
Organophosphates inhibit acetyl cholinesterase enzyme and causes accumulation of acetylcholine in myoneural junction and at synapses. Mortality ranges from 10-20%.1 Most of the deaths are due to acute respiratory failure due to central respiratory depression, respiratory muscle weakness or direct pulmonary effects. A detailed clinical examination of patients was done. In patients with respiratory failure, oxygen saturation using pulse oximeter, and with arterial blood gas analysis was done. Other relevant investigations available in the infrastructure was done wherever required. Grading of severity of poisoning was done according to clinical features and peradynia organophosphorus scale, and those who require ventilatory support and those who did not require ventilatory support were assessed Incidence of mortality was significantly associated with lower pseudocholinesterase level (P<0.001). Most of the moderate to severe degree of poisoning land up in respiratory distress where ventilator support is required which improves survival.
