BACKGROUND: Acute organophosphorus (OP) pesticide poisoning is widespread in the developing world. Standard treatment involves the administration of intravenous atropine and an oxime to counter acetylcholinesterase inhibition at the synapse, but the usefulness of oximes is uncertain. AIM: To assess the evidence on the use of oximes in OP poisoning. DESIGN: Systematic review. METHODS: We searched Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases (last check 01/02/02) for 'organophosphate' or 'oxime' together with 'poisoning' or 'overdose'. We cross-referenced from other articles, and contacted experts to identify unpublished studies. A Web search engine [www.google.com] was also used, with the keywords 'organophosphate', 'oxime', and 'trial' (last check 01/02/02). RESULTS: We found two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving 182 patients treated with pralidoxime. The RCTs found no benefit with pralidoxime, and have been used to argue that pralidoxime should not be used in OP poisoning. DISCUSSION: The RCT authors must be congratulated for attempting important studies in a difficult environment. However, their studies did not take into account recently clarified issues regarding outcome, and their methodology is unclear. A generalized statement that pralidoxime should not be used in OP poisoning is not supported by the published results. Oximes may well be irrelevant in the overwhelming self-poisoning typical of the tropics, but a large RCT comparing the current WHO-recommended pralidoxime regimen (>30 mg/kg bolus followed by >8 mg/kg/h infusion) with placebo is needed for a definitive answer. Such a study should be designed to identify any patient subgroups that might benefit from oximes.  相似文献

Introduction

Inorganic mercury poisoning is uncommon, but when it occurs it can result in severe, life-threatening features and acute renal failure. Previous reports on the use of extracorporeal procedures such as haemodialysis and haemoperfusion have shown no significant removal of mercury. We report here the successful use of the chelating agent 2,3-dimercaptopropane-1-sulphonate (DMPS), together with continuous veno-venous haemodiafiltration (CVVHDF), in a patient with severe inorganic mercury poisoning.

Case report

A 40-year-old man presented with haematemesis after ingestion of 1 g mercuric sulphate and rapidly deteriorated in the emergency department, requiring intubation and ventilation. His initial blood mercury was 15 580 μg/l. At 4.5 hours after ingestion he was started on DMPS. He rapidly developed acute renal failure and so he was started on CVVHDF for renal support and in an attempt to improve mercury clearance; CVVHDF was continued for 14 days.

Methods

Regular ultradialysate and pre- and post-filtrate blood samples were taken and in addition all ultradialysate generated was collected to determine its mercury content.

Results

The total amount of mercury in the ultrafiltrate was 127 mg (12.7% of the ingested dose). The sieving coefficient ranged from 0.13 at 30-hours to 0.02 at 210-hours after ingestion. He developed no neurological features and was discharged from hospital on day 50. Five months after discharge from hospital he remained asymptomatic, with normal creatinine clearance.

Discussion

We describe a patient with severe inorganic mercury poisoning in whom full recovery occurred with the early use of the chelating agent DMPS and CVVHDF. There was removal of a significant amount of mercury by CVVHDF.

Conclusion

We feel that CVVHDF should be considered in patients with inorganic mercury poisoning, particularly those who develop acute renal failure, together with meticulous supportive care and adequate doses of chelation therapy with DMPS.  相似文献

Background: Acute aluminum phosphide (AlP) poisoning is one of the most common cause of acute pesticide poisoning in Iran. Spontaneous ignition is a rare finding in AlP poisoning. Objective: To present two cases of fatal AlP poisoning that involved spontaneous ignition. Case Report: Two patients presented with suicidal ingestion of AlP tablets. In the Emergency Department (ED), they received gastric lavage. During insertion of a nasogastric tube, both patients experienced spontaneous ignition, and flames were witnessed by the medical personnel. Unfortunately, both patients died due to systemic effects of AlP poisoning. Conclusion: Patients who present with acute aluminum phosphide poisoning may experience spontaneous ignition in the ED.  相似文献

Background: The poor prognosis of patients with persistent gastrointestinal radio-opacities after oral arsenic poisoning supports efficient gastrointestinal decontamination as critical for survival. In a case of massive arsenic ingestion, we performed repetitive gastric endoscopy and a continuous alkaline irrigation of the stomach over several days.Case Report: A 41-year-old woman was admitted 4 hours after intentional ingestion of trivalent arsenic powder 5 g. The admission abdominal X-ray confirmed the presence of multiple gastric opacities. Initial treatment was gastric lavage with normal saline, dimercaprol chelation, and supportive therapy. Since gastric opacities persisted on the abdominal X-ray at 34 hours despite repeated gastric lavage, a gastroscopy was performed showing nonremovable agglomerates. In an attempt to achieve further gastric decontamination, we performed a continuous gastric alkaline irrigation. After 3 days of alkaline irrigation, the abdomen was normal on X-ray but the gastroscopy still showed arsenic concretions. Alkaline irrigation was continued for another 3 days until total disappearance of arsenic agglomerates at the gastroscopy. Admission urinary arsenic was 3663 μgmg/L. A total of 46.2-mg of inorganic arsenic, or less than 1% the ingested dose, was extracted from the stomach by this technique. The patient was discharged from the intensive care unit 20 days after admission without sequelae.  相似文献

Background. Approximately 35% of patients acutely poisoned with organophosphates (OP) in developing countries like Sri Lanka require intensive care and mechanical ventilation. However, death rates remain high. Objective. To study the outcomes and predictors of mortality in patients with acute OP poisoning requiring intensive therapy at a regional center in Sri Lanka over a period of 40 months. Methods. Retrospective analysis of all intensive care records of patients with acute OP poisoning admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) between March 1998 and July 2001. Results. During the study period, 126 subjects were admitted to the ICU with acute OP poisoning. Records of 10 patients were lost and those of 37 were incomplete and hence were excluded. All the remaining 71 patients (59 male) had required endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation for a period of four (median) days (range 1–27) in addition to gastric lavage and standard therapy with atropine and oximes and adequate hydration. Of these 71 patients, 36 (28 male) had died. Life table analysis demonstrated a steep decline in the cumulative survival to 67% during the first three days. Systolic blood pressure of < 100 mmHg and FiO2 of > 40% to maintain a SpO2 of > 92% within the first 24 h were recognized as poor prognostic indicators among mechanically ventilated patients. Conclusion. Mortality following OP poisoning remains high despite adequate respiratory support, intensive care, and specific therapy with atropine and oximes. One‐third of the subjects needing mechanical ventilation and reaching intensive care units die within the first 72 h of poisoning. Systolic blood pressure of less than 100 mmHg and the necessity of a FiO2 > 40% to maintain adequate oxygenation are predictors of poor outcome in patients mechanically ventilated in the ICU.  相似文献

Objective

To define the role of gastrointestinal (GI) decontamination of the poisoned patient.

Data Sources

A computer-based PubMed/MEDLINE search of the literature on GI decontamination in the poisoned patient with cross referencing of sources.

Study Selection and Data Extraction

Clinical, animal and in vitro studies were reviewed for clinical relevance to GI decontamination of the poisoned patient.

Data Synthesis

The literature suggests that previously, widely used, aggressive approaches including the use of ipecac syrup, gastric lavage, and cathartics are now rarely recommended. Whole bowel irrigation is still often recommended for slow-release drugs, metals, and patients who "pack" or "stuff" foreign bodies filled with drugs of abuse, but with little quality data to support it. Activated charcoal (AC), single or multiple doses, was also a previous mainstay of GI decontamination, but the utility of AC is now recognized to be limited and more time dependent than previously practiced. These recommendations have resulted in several treatment guidelines that are mostly based on retrospective analysis, animal studies or small case series, and rarely based on randomized clinical trials.

Conclusions

The current literature supports limited use of GI decontamination of the poisoned patient.  相似文献

Objectives

Acute organophosphate (OP) poisoning causing alteration in acid-base equilibrium was reported before. Hence, different acid-base statuses may present in patients with acute poisoning due to OP exposure. This study aims to determine the impact of acid-base interpretation in patients with acute OP poisoning before hospitalization in medical care units and to describe the pattern of mortality with different acid-base statuses.

Design and Patients

Over a 9-year retrospective study, from July 1996 to August 2005, a total of 82 consecutive patients with acute OP poisoning were admitted to the China Medical University Hospital (Taichung, Taiwan) within 24 hours after exposure to OP and were enrolled into this study.

Results

Patients with acute OP poisoning were divided into 4 groups: without acidosis, metabolic acidosis, respiratory acidosis, and mixed acidosis. Overall survival (Kaplan-Meier curves) among groups was statistically significant (P < .0001). The mortality rate of acute OP poisoned patients with metabolic acidosis was 25%, and 75% of those patients died of cardiovascular failure. The mortality rate of acute OP poisoning with respiratory acidosis was 50%, and 50% of those patients died of respiratory failure.

Conclusions

Acid-base interpretation can be effective in quick diagnosis and prediction of the outcome of patients with acute OP poisoning (without acidosis < metabolic acidosis < respiratory acidosis < mixed acidosis) before hospitalization. Major causes of death are different between the respiratory acidosis and metabolic acidosis groups of patients with acute OP poisoning.  相似文献

Intensive care management of organophosphate insecticide poisoning   总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10       下载免费PDF全文

Introduction  

Organophosphate (OP) insecticides inhibit both cholinesterase and pseudo-cholinesterase activities. The inhibition of acetylcholinesterase causes accumulation of acetylcholine at synapses, and overstimulation of neurotransmission occurs as a result of this accumulation. The mortality rate of OP poisoning is high. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is often life saving. Treatment of OP poisoning consists of intravenous atropine and oximes. The clinical course of OP poisoning may be quite severe and may need intensive care management. We report our experience with the intensive care management of serious OP insecticide poisonings.  相似文献

Background

Suboptimal adherence to medication increases mortality and morbidity; individually tailored supportive interventions can improve patients’ adherence to their medication regimens.

Aims

The study aims to use a pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) to test the hypothesis that a theory-based, nurse-led, multi-faceted intervention comprising motivational interviewing techniques and text message reminders in addition to standard care will better promote medication adherence in cardiac patients compared to standard care alone. The pilot study will assess self-reported adherence or non-adherence to cardiovascular medication in patients referred to a cardiac rehabilitation program following hospital admission for an acute cardiac event and test the feasibility of the intervention. The study will examine the role of individual, behavioural and environmental factors in predicting medication non-adherence in patients with CVD.

Methods

This is a mixed- methods study including a nested pilot RCT. Twenty-eight cardiac patients will be recruited; an estimated sample of nine patients in each group will be required for the pilot RCT with 80% power to detect a moderate effect size at 5% significance, and assuming 50% loss to follow-up over the six month intervention. Participants will complete a paper-based survey (Phase one), followed by a brief semi-structured interview (Phase two) to identify their level of adherence to medication and determine factors predictive of non-adherence. Participants identified as ‘non-adherent’ will be eligible for the pilot randomised trial, where they will be randomly allocated to receive either the motivational interview plus text message reminders and standard care, or standard care alone.

Discussion

Nurse-led multi-faceted interventions have the potential to enhance adherence to cardiac medications. The results of this study may have relevance for cardiac patients in other settings, and for long-term medication users with other chronic diseases.  相似文献

To determine the percentage of liquid gastric contents experimentally removable by available orogastric lavage systems, five healthy young volunteers were asked to ingest 1 mCi of liquid technicium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Tc99m-DTPA) mixed with 50 ml tap water. Five minutes afterwards, the radionuclide was lavaged using one of three different techniques—a single syringe method, a closed gravity drainage system, and a closed double syringe method—while continuous radioisotope camera images were taken. Control images, with no lavage performed, were also taken. All of the orogastric lavage methods removed a mean of between 80% and 85% of the stomach contents. The double syringe method was the quickest, while the single syringe method was least tolerated. When compared with control, none of the lavage techniques pushed gastric contents into the duodenum. Thus, in terms of amount of liquid gastric contents removed, there was no one method that removed more than the others. Caution should be exercised in assuming that 80–85% of a liquid gastric ingestion can be removed by lavage in the uncontolled clinical setting. The use of any orogastric lavage for ingestion evacuation should be undertaken knowing that it is a morbid procedure and usually not necessary.  相似文献

Introduction

To assess the safety and feasibility of recruiting mechanically ventilated patients with brain injury who are solely intubated for airway protection and randomising them into early or delayed extubation, and to obtain estimates to refine sample-size calculations for a larger study. The design is a single-blinded block randomised controlled trial. A single large academic medical centre is the setting.

Methods

Sixteen neurologically stable but severely brain injured patients with a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of 8 or less were randomised to early or delayed extubation until their neurological examination improved. Eligible patients met standard respiratory criteria for extubation and passed a modified Airway Care Score (ACS) to ensure adequate control of respiratory secretions. The primary outcome measured between groups was the functional status of the patient at hospital discharge as measured by a Modified Rankin Score (MRS) and Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Secondary measurements included the number of nosocomial pneumonias and re-intubations, and intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital length of stay. Standard statistical assessments were employed for analysis.

Results

Five female and eleven male patients ranging in age from 30 to 93 years were enrolled. Aetiologies responsible for the neurological injury included six head traumas, three brain tumours, two intracerebral haemorrhages, two subarachnoid haemorrhages and three ischaemic strokes. There were no demographic differences between the groups. There were no unexpected deaths and no significant differences in secondary measures. The difference in means between the MRS and FIM were small (0.25 and 5.62, respectively). These results suggest that between 64 and 110 patients are needed in each treatment arm to detect a treatment effect with 80% power.

Conclusions

Recruitment and randomisation of severely brain injured patients appears to be safe and feasible. A large multicentre trial will be needed to determine if stable, severely brain injured patients who meet respiratory and airway control criteria for extubation need to remain intubated.  相似文献

Background

Although unintentional injuries are major causes of morbidity and mortality in less developed countries, they have received scant attention, and injury prevention policies and programs have just begun to be addressed systemically.

Aims

To reduce hazards associated with home injuries due to falls and ingestions through an injury prevention program administered by home visitors.

Methods

Non-blinded randomized controlled trial design of two interventions where one branch of the study group served as the control for the other in an urban neighborhood in Karachi, Pakistan. The study participants included 340 families with at least one child aged 3 years or less, discharged home from the Emergency Department following a visit for any reason other than an injury. The interventions included: (1) counseling to reduce falls; (2) counseling to reduce poisoning and choking. The primary outcome measure for each intervention was the relative risk of change in the home status from “unsafe” to “safe” after the intervention.

Results

There were 170 families in the fall prevention and 170 families in the ingestion prevention branch of the study. The percentage of homes deemed “safe” in which the families had received fall intervention counseling was 13.5% compared to 3.5% in the control group (relative risk 3.8; 95% CI: 1.5 to 10.0; p = 0.002), whereas the percentage of homes deemed “safe” in which the families had received the ingestions intervention counseling was 18.8% compared to 2.4% in the control group (relative risk 7.8; 95% CI: 2.4 to 25.3; p?Conclusions Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of an educational intervention aimed at improving the home safety practices of families with young children.  相似文献

Background

Kudoa septempunctata is a recently identified cause of food poisoning. We report three cases of food poisoning due to ingestion of this parasite.

Case Reports

Among the 358 people exposed during the same catered meal, 94 (including our 3 patients) developed vomiting and diarrhea within 1–9 h after ingestion of raw muscle from contaminated aquacultured olive flounders (Paralichthys olivaceus). These symptoms occurred frequently but were temporary; only 1 patient was hospitalized for dehydration and was discharged 2 days later.

Conclusion

In Japan, cases of food poisoning due to eating olive flounder have increased during recent years. This increase should prompt heightened awareness among clinicians diagnosing food poisoning.  相似文献

Background

Pesticides are identified as one of the dangerous poisons globally in children and are associated with increased short- and long-term morbidity. Pesticide poisoning is the most common method of self-poisoning among adults in rural Sri Lanka, and the clinical management is associated with significant healthcare costs to the country. There is however little data published on acute pesticide poisoning among children in rural Sri Lanka. The current study aimed to comprehensively evaluate clinical profiles, harmful first aid measures, emergency clinical management, complications and outcomes related to acute pesticide poisoning among children in the rural community of Sri Lanka.

Methods

This multicenter study was conducted in the North Central Province of Sri Lanka involving all children with acute pesticide poisoning and who were between 9 months and 12 years of age. Data were collected over 7 years (2007–2014), and children from 36 hospitals were recruited. Data collection was carried out by pretested, multi-structured, interviewer-administered questionnaires to identify clinical profiles of children, harmful first aid measures, emergency clinical management, reasons for delayed management, complications and outcomes of pesticide poisoning events.

Results

Among 1621 children with acute poisoning, 9.5% (155) comprised children with acute pesticide poisoning. Male children outnumbered female children, and the majority of children were less than 5 years. Most common pesticides implicated in poisoning of children were organophosphates and carbamates. Gastrointestinal and neurological symptoms were predominant clinical features. Limited transport and lack of concern regarding urgency among caregivers were leading reasons for delayed management. Most common location for poisoning was cultivation lands. Harmful first aid measures were practiced in 32.4%. 7.1% had intentional pesticide poisoning. The case fatality rate of all pesticide poisonings in the study was 1.9%. 58.1% of patients were transferred between regional hospitals and teaching hospital. Cardiac and respiratory arrests, aspiration pneumonia and convulsions were among the reported complications.

Conclusions

Acute pesticide poisoning in paediatric age group (<12 years) is a relatively uncommon yet significant cause of child health-related morbidity and mortality in rural Sri Lanka. Patterns of poisoning represent the pattern of pesticide use by the rural community. The practice of harmful first aid measures by caregivers and delay in attending the emergency department may negatively impact patient outcomes.
