Abstract

BACKGROUND: Organophosphorus compound poisoning (OPCP) is a major public health problem in developing countries like India. Atropine and oximes remain the main-stay of management. Magnesium sulfate (MgSO

AIMS: This study was designed to assess the effect of MgSO

SETTINGS AND DESIGN: Double-blind prospective randomized clinical trial in an ICU of tertiary care institution.

METHODS: One hundred patients (50 in each group) of OPCP, confirmed by history and syndrome of OPCP with low plasma pseudocholinesterase, aged between 18 and 60 years were studied. Magnesium group (Group M) received 4 g of 20% MgSO

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test for categorical data, independent sample

RESULTS: Demographics and basal serum magnesium levels were comparable. Atropine requirement was higher in Group C (74.82 ± 22.39 mg) compared to Group M (53.11 ± 45.83 mg) (

CONCLUSION: Four grams of MgSO

Keywords: Atropine; Intensive Care Unit; magnesium sulfate; mechanical ventilation; organophosphorus compound poisoning
