Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Aluminium phosphide poisoning has emerged as a major problem in rural India. No specific antidote is available. This study was conducted to evaluate relation between mode of ingestion and outcome in terms of mortality. Materials And Methods: An observational study was done on patients admitted with ALP (Aluminium phosphide) poisoning in DMCH, Bihar. Diagnosis was done clinically and biochemically. Clinical variables and outcomes were recorded and statistically analysed using appropriate test. Results: Fatality was not related to dosage of ingestion. Patients who dissolved the tablet in water before ingestion had a highly significant better outcome in terms of mortality.
