Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a bridge to recovery in acute aluminium phosphide poisoning: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is a common fumigant used for controlling rodents and pests in grain storage facilities. Its consumption reported accidental or suicidal cases carrying high mortality. In the present case, young male was with ingestion of AlP severe lactic acidosis systolic dysfunction. The patient managed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. reserved cases, ECMO can be instituted taking view risk complications.

Successful Treatment of Aluminium Phosphide Poisoning: A Case Report
Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is used to kill rodents in grain storage. It produces phosphine gas which is toxic for mitochondria. The exact mechanism of action is unclear, but phosphine is thought to produce toxicity by blocking cytochrome-c oxidase, which inhibits oxidative phosphorylation and result in cell death. This poisoning has a high mortality, and survival is unlikely if more than 1.5 g i...

This paper reports the case of a family in which three children were presented at Emergency Room (ER) with poisoning after the use of a pesticide at home. Initially, the cases were managed as routine cases of organophosphorus poisoning; however, the death of two children made the health team members realise that the poison's effects were delayed and devastating. Later, the compound was identifi...

Aluminium phosphide (ALP) is highly toxic and poisoning can result in high mortality rates. A 26-year-old female who allegedly ingested a toxic dose of ALP presented with vomiting and diarrhoea. She developed cardiac arrest with refractory pulseless ventricular tachycardia. Despite aggressive resuscitation, she succumbed to death seven hours following ingestion. In cases like this, a better out...
متن کاملVeno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a patient with severe acute respiratory failure – case report
Acute respiratory failure resistant to conventional pulmonary therapy often requires intensive medical care. In rare cases, ventilator therapy proves insufficient, and only the option of employing veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO V-V) remains. The present article describes the case of a 23-year-old patient who experienced severe acute respiratory distress syndrome with asso...
متن کاملDisrupting differential hypoxia in peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Patients receiving circulatory support with peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) are at risk of developing differential hypoxia. This phenomenon occurs in patients with concomitant respiratory failure. Poorly oxygenated blood, ejected into the ascending aorta from the left ventricle, competes with retrograde flow from the ECMO circuit, potentially causing myoca...
