Abstract: (19 Views)
Background: Over the past few years, there has been a rise in the number of individuals being exposed to toxic substances such as pesticides, including rice tablets used for storing grains in warehouses and during transportation. Medical facilities have documented the success of utilizing peritoneal dialysis as a treatment for individuals poisoned by rice tablets. As a result, we undertook a study to investigate the results of using peritoneal dialysis (PD) to treat these patients.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study examined 27 cases of patients who were poisoned with aluminum phosphide. Data on age, gender, the dosage of tablets ingested, clinical symptoms, and initial tests including vital signs, gastrointestinal, respiratory, neurological, and the outcome of the poisoning were gathered from their medical records and analyzed using SPSS version 21.
Results: Temperature and respiration rates did not show a significant difference between admission and clearance. However, there were significant differences in PH, PCO2, bicarbonate, open base, blood pressure, and electrolytes (K +, Na +) between admission and discharge times. The mortality rate was 14.81% (4 cases).
Conclusion: The findings indicated that Peritoneal dialysis may be utilized as a primary intervention in conjunction with traditional and standard treatments for severe metabolic acidosis caused by aluminum phosphide poisoning.
