Medical facilities have documented the success of utilizing peritoneal dialysis (PD) as a treatment for individuals poisoned by rice tablets. As a result, the present study aimed to investigate the results of using PD to treat these patients.<br> <b><span style="color:#2d73b4">Methods: </span></b>The present 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 &mdash;including vital signs, gastrointestinal, respiratory, and neurological&mdash;as well as the outcome of the poisoning were gathered from their medical records and analyzed using the SPSS (version 21) software.<br> <b><span style="color:#2d73b4">Results: </span></b>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. <span style="color:black">The mortality rate was 14.81% (four cases)</span>.<br> <b><span style="color:#2d73b4"><span style="letter-spacing:-.1pt">Conclusion: </span></span></b>The findings indicated that PD may be utilized as a primary intervention in conjunction with traditional and standard treatments for severe metabolic acidosis caused by aluminum phosphide poisoning.</span></span> Aluminum phosphide, Peritoneal dialysis (PD), Pesticides, Poisoning 221 226 http://ijt.arakmu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-1387-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Esmaeil Farzaneh e.farzaneh@arums.ac.ir 100319475328460018793 100319475328460018793 No Department of internal medicine, school of medicine, Ardabil university of medical science, Ardabil, Iran.
