What are the complications of organophosphorus poisoning

summary

Some time ago, my mother-in-law was busy with farming. They all had land, so they had to plant crops. That would scatter a little organic phosphorus in the field. But after they finished their work and came home, they found that they were suffering from organic phosphorus poisoning. Today, let me share with you the complications of organophosphorus poisoning.

What are the complications of organophosphorus poisoning

First, the three major characteristics of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning are muscarinic symptoms, nicotinic symptoms and central nervous system symptoms. Muscarinic symptoms are nausea, vomiting, sweating, salivation, pupil narrowing, etc., nicotinic symptoms are muscle tremor, spasm, etc., and central nervous system symptoms are headache, dizziness, dreaminess, insomnia, coma, etc.

Second: the symptoms of acute organophosphorus poisoning include garlic smell in exhaled air, pupil narrowing, sweating, muscle tremor, disturbance of consciousness, etc. Two to three weeks after the onset of the disease, there can be delayed polyneuropathy, which is manifested as sensorimotor polyneuropathy, mainly involving the extremities, paralysis of the lower extremities and muscle atrophy of the extremities.

Third: in severe cases, tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, pupil size, dyspnea, pulmonary edema, incontinence, respiratory depression, unconsciousness and even deep coma may occur. The activity of blood CHZ decreased to below 30% of the normal value.

matters needing attention

Once organophosphorus poisoning is found, we should strive for time to use organophosphorus antidotes as soon as possible to save lives and alleviate poisoning symptoms. We can use soapy water to wash contaminated clothes, and oral patients should use water to wash their stomach repeatedly.
