High Dose

A case of organophosphate (OP) poisoning was admitted to the emergency room. The patient accepted treatment with pralidoxime (PAM), atropine, and supporting therapy. It was observed that even after 22 h after treatment, 960 mg of atropine was not enough for the patient to be atropinized. However, a 160-mg follow-up treatment of anisodamine was quite enough for atropinization after 4 h. As a case report, more studies are required before any definite conclusion can be reached regarding the use of anisodamine as a potential substitute for high-dose atropine in cases of OP poisoning.

Seizure Episode

Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is more common in developing countries such as India. Here, we report a case of self-inflicted oral OP poisoning (monocrotophos) by an adolescent male patient who presented to the emergency department of a tertiary care hospital with tachycardia and frothing without seizure episode (non-linear presentation in OP poisoning). Based on the evidence of consumption of OP compound, the management of the patient went as planned and guarded with i.v. administration of pralidoxime and atropine. Gastric lavage was done soon after the patient came to the hospital and was admitted to the Intensive care unit for 5 days and in the general ward for the next 24 h. The patient was discharged from the hospital in a hemodynamically stable state after 6 days of hospital stay by managing the cardiac, muscarinic, and nervous system events as detailed in this case report.

Rhythm Monitoring

AbstractConventional ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring is limited in its ability to provide rapid diagnosis of arrhythmias in athletes participating in water or high-intensity sports. This case report is of a 17-year-old female competitive swimmer who underwent loop recorder implantation with Confirm Rx™ ICM 3500 (Abbott, Minneapolis, MN) to monitor for arrhythmias during swimming. The purpose of this case report is to describe the utility of implantable loop recorders in arrhythmia diagnosis and symptom evaluation in water sport athletes.

High Index Of Suspicion

ABSTRACT Unintentional ingestions are a common form of poisoning in children worldwide. Organophosphates are commonly used in households worldwide and are a common cause of childhood poisonings. This case report describes an unintentional ingestion of a child in East Africa. A thorough patient history and a high index of suspicion are needed in recognizing an organophosphate poisoning. Prompt patient stabilization and treatment improve outcomes. Neurologic sequela may occur and thus patient follow-up is recommended.
