Prognostic Value of Serum Cholinesterase
نویسنده
چکیده
Objective: To determine whether serum cholinesterase level has a prognostic value in human acute organophosphorus poisoning. Design: Cohort (prospective) prognosis study. Setting: Medical ICU at University Hospital. Patients: Thirty consecutive patients admitted to the ICU for acute organophosphate poisoning. Measurements: Serum cholinesterase level was measured in all patients at the time of hospital admission. Severity of intoxication was assessed by the total dose of atropine required to relieve poisoning manifestations, the Simplified Acute Physiology Score, the need for assisted ventilation, and by a specific grading system previously validated that identified two groups of patients:

Background: It is becoming apparent that although inhibition of cholinesterase plays a key role in organophosphate (OP) toxicity, other factors are also important. One of the contributing factors for severity of OP poisoning is electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia. This study was aimed at evaluating the value of hypokalemia in association with plasma cholinesterase (PChE) levels in predic...
