The mortality rate of OP poisoning is high. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment is often life saving. Treat...

Among them, IMS has been considered as a major contributing factor of organophosphate-related morbidity and mortality because of its frequent occurrence and probable consequence of respiratory failure.
