What are the first aid and care for organophosphorus poisoning

The so-called organophosphorus poisoning is the most common pesticide poisoning in life. After the symptoms of poisoning appear, you must be sent to the hospital for treatment in time. In the hospital, gastric lavage or vomiting are often performed, and patients with difficulty breathing must actively receive oxygen therapy. Generally speaking, after organophosphorus poisoning, if you are sent to the hospital for rescue, the success rate of rescue is generally around 96%.

Organophosphorus pesticide poisoning is a common clinical emergency. It refers to the situation where organophosphorus pesticides enter the human body through the respiratory tract, digestive tract or skin, inhibiting the activity of cholesterase, causing it to lose the ability to inactivate acetylcholine, leading to a large accumulation of acetylcholine and a series of poisoning symptoms. If not treated in time, it can easily cause death. Therefore, effective rescue treatment and appropriate nursing measures are the key to successful rescue.

Take off contaminated clothing immediately and wash the skin with clean water or soapy water. If it is an oral poisoning, unless there is obvious upper respiratory tract bleeding, gastric perforation, etc., the stomach should be thoroughly and effectively washed to prevent inhalation of the poison. For poisoned patients, maintaining respiratory function is the most important thing, and special attention should be paid to clearing respiratory secretions. If the secretions are viscous and difficult to suck out, take emergency measures in time, and perform endotracheal intubation or tracheotomy when necessary. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen inhalation. When breathing is weak or stopped, immediately apply pressurized oxygen until breathing is restored. During the treatment, the breathing condition and lung signs should be closely observed, and airway antispasmodics should be given promptly and accurately according to the doctor's orders to relieve airway spasms. At the same time, the patient's head should be tilted to one side to prevent secretions from being accidentally inhaled into the airway and causing suffocation.

After organophosphorus poisoning, when a patient is sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, the doctor will often actively observe the patient's body temperature, pulse and blood pressure, and also observe whether there are any changes in the patient's pupils. Some patients will experience vomiting after organophosphorus poisoning. At this time, it is necessary to analyze the vomitus, especially the specific components of the pesticides in the vomitus, which will be helpful for rescuing the patients.
