Management of OP poisoning is
        Important in Emergency Medicine!
• Prevalent in developing
  world
   – 200,000 deaths /year
   – Self–poisoning
     predominates
• 15-30% mortality
   – (0.3% for all poisoning in
     the west)
• Also affects developed
  world nations
   – Occupational exposure &
     HAZMAT incidents
   – Nerve gas attacks

Dr Bishan Rajapakse - OP Update (Port Hedland Jan 31st2012)
High mortality & morbidity in
pesticide poisoning is Multi-factorial

   • High toxicity of agents (15-30%
     mortality in OPs)

     – Lack of 100% effective antidote for the
       biggest killers

Dangerous GI decontamination

• “Iatrogenic”
  component of
  mortality &
  morbidity
• 14 consecutive
  OP poisonings
   – 7 Aspiration

   – 2 Deaths

• Intermediate Syndrome
  – Delayed respiratory failure (24-96hrs)
  – Nerve conduction can predict weakness
• OP induced delayed peripheral

• Resuscitation!

    – Consider early intubation

     • IV Atropine
         – Stops lung secretions
         – Increases blood pressure

Atropine - Doubling Dose regime
• Large doses of Atropine are required
  – Mean dose in severe OP poisoning 23.4mg (range 1-
    75mg)
• Text book recommendations vary
  – Upto 1,380 minutes to administer 23.4mg
• Doubling IV bolus doses most effective
  – Eg. 2mg, then 4mg, then 8mg etc every 5 minutes
    until “clinical response”
  – Continue with 10-20% of loading dose/hour

• No evidence for benefit (WHO dose

• Reasons for failure were not apparent
• Further studies needed

  – Different Oximes

Oxime Summary


How would I treat a symptomatic OP pt?
  • Patient responding to atropine - would
    use this alone and not use pralidoxime.
  • If they are not getting better or
    decompensating with atropine, then treat
    with pralidoxime


          Dr Bishan Rajapakse - OP Update (Port Hedland Jan 31st2012)
Discussion:
    …..Time for your thoughts!




Dr Bishan Rajapakse - OP Update (Port Hedland Jan 31st2012)
Conclusions
• Pesticide poisoning large global public
  health problem
• Treatment of OP poisoning = Atropine (++)
  & Resuscitation (Simultaneously)
• Endpoints of atropinisation; BP, P,
  Lung secretions, secretions
• Oxime therapy is controversial – use if not
  improving with atropine

Notas del editor

  1. It’s the same in medicine – we just keep finding out how much we thought was correct perhaps isnt, and how much we don’t really know, the only difference is that as we get qualificaitons we are more confident about saying what we don’t know!
  2. The most common group are OP and one of the most deadly, next to paraquat which is also seen in high numbers.
  3. EASY ACCCESS
  4. The other important
  5. Also worthy of mention when considering why the Mortality and morbidity is high is the Iatrogenic componentForced emesis and gastric lavage were we accepted practice of poison management world world wide many decades ago, but during the last 3 decades in the west the was the realisation that forced emesis was a dangerous practice, and the benefits of even Gastric lavage which is slightly more controlled is still limited, and still dangerous if there is a decreased level of consciousness when performed in a non intubated patient. However, despite this there is still the widespread practice of both these procedures throughout asia, and this early reserch by Michael eddleston conducted in Sri Lanka documented that in 14 consecutive OP poisonings that there were 7 cases of aspiration pneumonia and 2 deaths related to this. This gives an idea of the magnitude of a potentially iatrogenic component to the high mortality and morbidity – this also suggests the importance of both good education in poisoning management and also the importance of resuscitation education. Knowledge / practice GapDangerous GI decontamination despite established poison treatment protocolsIneffective resuscitation practice and trainingAnother factor is the dangerous decontamination practices – such as the widespread use of forced emesis – which involves often the patient drinking 3 litres of bicarbonate until they vomit. Also other practices include using a widebore orogastric tubes or nasogastric tubes in patients with low leves of consciousness who are not intubated. One study looked at 14 consetcutive patients with OP poisong where there was an incidence of aspiration pneumonia in 7 and death in 2.
  6. We performed a double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial of pralidoxime chloride (2 g loading dose over 20 min, followed by a constant infusion of 0.5 g/h for up to 7 d) versus saline in patients with organophosphorus insecticide self-poisoningTwo hundred thirty-five patients were randomised to receive pralidoxime (121) or saline placebo (114). N=235CONCLUSIONS: Despite clear reactivation of red cell acetylcholinesterase in diethyl organophosphorus pesticide poisoned patients, we found no evidence that this regimen improves survival or reduces need for intubation in patients with organophosphorus insecticide poisoning. The reason for this failure to benefit patients was not apparent. Further studies of different dose regimens or different oximes are required.
