INTRODUCTION
• Organophosphate widely used in agricultural sector as PESTICIDES.
• Nerve agents sarin, tabun, soman, VX, VE• Mortality a/w self-poisoning with pesticides:– 50-70 % in developing world– 0.3 % in developed world
• Malaysia 2nd after paraquat poisoning (Sirajuddin, 2002).

MECHANISM OF ACTION OF ORGANOPHOSPATE POISONING

MECHANISM OF ACTION OF ORGANOPHOSPATE POISONING
Irreversibly bind to serine-OH group at the active site of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) establish covalent bond
(phosphorylation)↓
AGING: loss of alkyl group + strengthening of covalent bond↓
Phosphorylated AChE is very stable↓
Inhibition of enzyme activity accumulation of ACh in the synapse and NMJ
↓Overstimulation of cholinergic receptors

CLINICAL PRESENTATION
MUSCARINIC: SLUDGES-SalivationL-LacrimationU-UrinationD-DiarrhoeaG-GI upsetE-Emesis
NICOTINIC: MATCHM-Muscle weakness
and fasciculationA-Adrenal medulla
activity ↑T-TachycardiaC-Cramping of skeletal
muscleH-Hypertension

PRINCIPLE OF MANAGEMENT• History taking: What, When, How much, Why• 1° survey: protect yourself + decontaminate• Initial assessment: A B C D E• Recognition of organophosphate poisoning– MIOSIS– DIAPHORESIS– ↓/POOR AIR ENTRY– BRADYCARDIA– HYPOTENSION
11
• Antidote: Atropine & Pralidoxime
• IV fluid• Confirmation of exposure to cholinergic compounds
– Measure butyryl cholinesterase or red cell AChE activity
LOADING DOSE: IV 0.5-2 mg over 5-10 min until atropinization achieved
MAINTENANCE DOSE:(8 mg mix in 100 mL normal saline) at a rate of 0.02-0.08 mg/kg/hr
• effective within 24 hours of exposure
• 1-2 g IV in 100 mL normal saline within 30min.
• repeat if muscle weakness did not relieve in 1 hour

CASE:- 14 y/o Indian girl - Brought to resus HSB on 8th Feb 2009 at 1050 by
family after mom noted a strange smell - Took insecticides from the back of her house at
around 0900- Minimal amount (< 1/3 of the bottle content)- No suicidal note- Claimed that she was stressed friends keep
commenting on the PIMPLES on her face.

ASSESSMENT- On arrival: alert and
conscious- Vital signs:
- Heart rate: 132 beats/min
- Blood pressure: 143/90 mmHg
- O2 saturation: 89% on room air
- Pulse rate: 21 breaths/min
- Temperature: 37°C
- Vomiting- Throat & abdominal
discomfort- No chest pain / SOB- Pupils 2mm constricted- Sweaty peripheries- Lungs: transmitted
sound- PA: soft, non tender
15
MANAGEMENT• 2 large bore IV needle• High flow mask 15L/min• IVD Normal Saline• Clean-sponging & change clothes• Close monitoring of vital signs• Gastric lavage & Ryle’s tube inserted• Activated charcoal 50mg• IV Atropine 0.25 mg every 2min until atropinization achieved• IV ranitidine • Suicidal precaution • Blood ix: FBC; RP; LFT; amylase; PCM, salicylate,
benzodiazepine level; CXR, urine paraquat
