Abstract
Forty five cases of organophosphorus poisoning were studied to evaluate the results of continuous infusion of high doses of atropine as against the conventional intermittent therapy. A statistically significant reduction in mortality (23.5% to 8.8%; p less than 0.05) was evident in this study as compared to previous years. Pseudocholinesterase levels below 10% of normal were associated with a poor prognosis and increased mortality.Entities:
