summary

A few days ago, my grandmother was hospitalized. When I was on guard in the hospital, I saw a poisoned patient in the ambulance outside. Far away, I could smell a strong smell of garlic. Later I knew it was organophosphorus pesticide poisoning. Let's take a look at the complications of organophosphorus pesticide poisoning.

What are the complications of acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning

First: tardive polyneuropathy: in a few cases, tardive neuropathy, sensory and motor polyneuropathy, mainly involving the extremities, paralysis of the lower limbs and atrophy of the muscles of the extremities, can occur 2-3 weeks after the disappearance of acute towel poisoning symptoms. It is because organophosphorus compounds inhibit the target esterase of neuropathy in nerve tissue and make it aging.

Second: middle question syndrome: in a few cases, after the symptoms of acute poisoning are relieved and before the occurrence of delayed neuropathy, respiratory muscle paralysis usually occurs 24-96 hours after acute poisoning, resulting in different degrees of dyspnea. In severe cases, it can be fatal, which is called "intermediate syndrome". The patient can't raise his head, shoulder abduction difficulty, eye and face ptosis, eye movement limitation, diplopia, facial expression muscle movement reduction, hoarseness, dysphagia, masticatory muscle weakness, etc.

Third, "rebound" of poisoning refers to the reappearance of poisoning symptoms 2-7 days after the remission of acute organophosphorus poisoning, resulting in a sharp deterioration or even death of the disease. Before the occurrence of rebound, there are many premonitory manifestations, such as pale complexion, cold and wet skin, chest tightness, shortness of breath, light cough, lung moist sound, elevated blood pressure, pupil narrowing, slow heart rate, flow, muscle tremor, etc.
