High lethality and minimal variation after acute self-poisoning with carbamate insecticides in Sri Lanka – implications for global suicide prevention
BACKGROUND Highly hazardous organophosphorus (OP) insecticides are responsible for most pesticide poisoning deaths. As they are removed from agricultural practice, they are often replaced by carbamate insecticides of perceived lower toxicity. However, relatively little is known about poisoning with these insecticides. METHODS We prospectively studied 1288 patients self-poisoned with carbamate...
متن کاملInhibition of monocyte esterase activity by organophosphate insecticides.
Organophosphate insecticides, such as Vapona, Naled, and Rabon, are highly potent inhibitors of an enzyme found in human monocytes. The enzyme, a specific monocyte esterase, could be inhibited by Vapona in blood samples via airborne contamination at levels easily achieved from commercial slow-release insecticide strips. Fifty percent inhibition (I50)--as measured on the Hemalog D (Technicon Cor...
متن کاملLaboratory assessment of poisoning with a carbamate insecticide.
We discuss a case of a 17-year-old white male who intentionally ingested a tick and flea insecticide and was admitted to the emergency room unconscious, with signs and symptoms of cholinergic toxicity. Capillary gas chromatography and electron-impact mass fragmentographic analysis of the patient's urine and serum demonstrated the presence of poly-ethylene glycol and propoxur (o-isopropoxyphenyl...

Organop iosphat, insecticides, such as Vapona, Naled, and Rabon, are highly potent inhibitors of an enzyme found in human monocytes. The enzyme, a specific monocyte esterase, could be inhibited by Vapona in blood samples via airborne contamination at levels easily achieved from commercial slow-release insecticide strips.

متن کاملIs oxygen required before atropine administration in organophosphorus or carbamate pesticide poisoning? – A cohort study
BACKGROUND Early and adequate atropine administration in organophosphorus (OP) or carbamate insecticide poisoning improves outcome. However, some authors advise that oxygen must be given before atropine due to the risk of inducing ventricular dysrhythmias in hypoxic patients. Because oxygen is frequently unavailable in district hospitals of rural Asia, where the majority of patients with insect...
