The mechanism of toxicity is the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, resulting in accumulation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholi...
From their randomised trial, Kirti Pawar and colleagues report in today’s Lancet on two pralidoxime-dosing schemes in 200 patients who had moderately severe self-poisoning with organophosphorus insecticide. After a 2-g loading dose over 30 min, half received a high-dose regimen of 1 g/h pralidoxime iodide for 48 h. The other half received a lower dose: 1 g/h every 4 h. After 48 h, the lower dos...

Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is a commonly seen condition in many countries. OP poisoning classically presents with symptoms of cholinergic excess. It can rarely affect other organ systems but when it does, it can worsen a patient's overall prognosis. We present a case of a 23-year-old man with an extremely rare case of acute kidney injury due to OP, who was successfully treated with a combin...
OBJECTIVE We tested therapeutic efficacies of different hemoperfusion frequencies in patients with acute severe organophosphate poisoning (ASOP). PATIENTS AND METHODS 36 patients with ASOP were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups. Patients in the repeated hemoperfusion group (n=20) received 3-4 hemoperfusions within 48 hours after poisoning, while other patients (n=16) received...

He was admitted to an intensive care unit and treated with pralidoxime, atropine, and oxygen. His coronary occlusion pattern required early coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surger...
