Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The only factor that determines the severity and monitors the progress of cases of AIP poisoning is blood phosphine level. The mortality is highly variable depending on the freshness and dose of the compound consumed. The present study has been designed to determine the serial levels of phosphine in blood and to correlate them with outcome of the patients. Fourty five patients of aluminium phosphide poisoning irrespective of age, sex, dose and duration, admitted in Medical College, Rohtak were studied. The patients were grouped in I,II, IIa, IIb. Data was collected on a semi structured schedule and consent was taken. Appropriate staistical tests were applied. It was found that the he blood phosphine levels at admission, at 12 hours and 24 hours in group-I patients were significantly higher than patients of group-II A & B, making the conclusion that group-I patients had severe intoxication and consumed active and fresh compound. In group-II A patients, blood phosphine levels at admission, at 12 hours and 24 hours were significantly lower than group-I but higher than group-II B paitents. This indicated that compound consumed by group-II A patients was still active but less than group-I. These patients had mild intoxication.
