Pesticides • Insecticide: organophosphates, carbamates, organochlorines, pyrethrins • Rodenticide: coumarin, thallium, zinc phosphine • Herbicide: paraquat, glyphosate
Organophosphate Insecticide • Parathion • Malathion • Fenthion • Dimethoate • Monocrotophos • Metamidophos
Carbamate Insecticide • Carbaryl • Carbofuran • Propanocarb • Thiodicarb
Route of exposure • Inhalation : unlikely at ordinary temperatures, low volatility • : sprays or dusts • : hydrocarbon solvent (toluene or xylene) • Skin/eye contact : not irritate skin or eye • : rapidly absorbed through intact skin and eyes, contributing to systemic toxicity • Ingestion: acute toxicity and rapidly fatal systemic poisoning
Organophosphate Chemical warfare • Nerve agents • Tabun • Sarin • Soman • VX
Sarin Gas Attack in Japan • June 1994, Matsumoto (614) • March 1995, Tokyo subway (5510)
Sarin toxicology • Isopropyl methylphosphonofluoridate • High potency organophosphate ester • Clear, colorless liquid with a vapor pressure of 2.1 mm Hg • Liquid: rapidly penetrate skin and clothing • Vapor: rapidly penetrate mucous membranes of the eye or inhaled in to the lung
Muscarinic Receptor • = Defecation • = Urination • = Miosis • = Bradycardia • = Emesis • = Lacrimation • = Secretion D U M B E L S
Relationship between pupil size and AChE activity in patient exposed to sarin vapor Intensive Care Med 1997;23:1006
Investigation True Cholinesterase (RBC) Cholinesterase level Plasma Cholinesterase
Management 1. Basic life support • Airway • Breathing • Circulation
2. Early mangement • Prevent absorption: gastric lavage activated charcoal skin decontamination • Enhance Elimination
Antidote 1. Atropine antimuscarinic Dose: 1- 4 mg IV push every 5-15 min End point: HR> 60/min or <150/min pupil size > 3 mm secretion decrease
Pralidoxime (2-PAM) Dose: 1-2 gm IV push > 10 min every 2-4 hr. or IV continuos drip Max: 1/2 gm/ hr. Clinical response: Motor power - tidal volume - muscle power
Parathion Pre-hospital management Hot zone • Rescuer Protection: Highly toxic systemic poison absorbed well by all routes of exposure - Respiratory protection: Positive pressure, self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) - Skin protection: Chemical protective clothing • ABC Reminder • Victim removal
Pre-hospital management Decontamination zone • Rescuer Protection: lower level of protection than that worn in Hot Zone • ABC Reminders • Basic Decontamination: - Rapid and thorough decontamination is critical, but must proceed concurrently with supportive and antidotal measure - Quickly remove and double- bag contaminated clothing and personal belonging
Pre-hospital management • Wash repeatedly with copious amounts of soap and water • Rescuers wear rubber gloves as vinyl groves • Clean hair, fingernails and skin folds • Irrigate exposed or irritated eyes with plain water or saline for 15 min • Activated charcoal • Not induce emesis • Transfer to support zone
Pre-hospital management Support zone • Support zone team wear disposable aprons or gowns and rubber gloves for protection • ABC reminder • Additional decontamination • Advance treatment • Antidotes • Transport to medical facility
Emergency Department Management • Decontamination area: - Butyl rubber aprons and butyl rubber gloves - Two layers of latex gloves and waterproof apron or chemical resistant jumpsuit - Wash hand - ABC reminder - Basic decontamination
Emergency Department Management • Critical Care area - ABC reminder - GI decontamination – gastric lavage, activated charcoal - Antidotes - Laboratory test: RBC cholinesterase activity
Emergency Department Management • Disposition and Follow- up - Life threatening illness, serious exposure and symptomatic - Delay effect : skin absorption : aspiration of chemical (hydrocarbon) chemical pneumonitis : Chronic neurologic symptoms
Intermediate Syndrome • 1- 4 days after acute poisoning • Sign: cranial nerve palsy • paralysis of proximal limb muscle, neck muscle & respiratory • Fenthion, monocrotophos, dimethoate, methamidophos etc. • DDx: redistribution of organophosphate • Treatment: supportive
Emergency Department Management - Patient release: asymptomatic for 4-6 hours after exposure - Follow up : primary care physician : persistant CNS sequelae and delayed peripheral neuropathy - Report
Organophosphate induce delayed neuropathy (OPIDN) • After 2- 4 wks after acute poisoning • Delay neuropathy: cramping muscle pain • distal numbness & paresthesia • progressive leg weakness and gait disturbance • depressed deep tendon reflexes • lower then upper extremeties
Nerve agent Prehospital Management Hot zone • Rescuer Protection : rapidly absorbed by inhalation and ocular contact : rapid local and systemic effect : liquid is readily absorbed thorough skin (delay for minutes to up to 18 hours) - Respiratory protection: Pressure demand, self-contained breathing apparatus - Skin protection: chemical-protective clothing and butyl rubber gloves
Prehospital Management • ABC reminders • There are 4 triage categories • Antidote: difficult to achieve in Hot Zone • Victim removal: decontamination zone Decontamination zone • Rapid decontamination is critical to prevent further absorption • Rescuer protection: wear the same level of protection as required in the Hot Zone
Prehospital Management • ABC reminder • Antidotes • Basic decontamination: Liquid - eyes decontamination within minutes of exposure - flush eyes with water for 5-10 minutes - remove all clothing and wash skin with soap and water - 0.5% sodium hypochlorite - absorbent powder such as flour, talcum powder or Fuller’s earth
Prehospital Management - Place contaminated clothes and personal belonging in a sealed double bag Vapor - no need to flush eyes following exposure • Ingestion – activated charcoal • Transfer to support zone Support zone • Victims must be decontamination properly before entering the Support Zone
Prehospital Management • ABC reminder • Antidotes • Additional decontamintion • Transport to medical facility
Emergency Department Management • Decontamination Area: - ABC reminder - Personal protection: - before enter the facility - inside the hospital: negative air pressure and floor drain to contain contamination - personal wear the same level of protection require in Hot Zone - Basic decontamination
Emergency Department Management • Treatment area - ABC reminder - Triage – conscious and full muscular control need minimal care - exposed to liquid observe at least 18 hours - only exposure to vapor: no sign of exposure by the time reach the hospital discharge
Emergency Department Management - Antidotes Vapor exposure - Miosis and rhinorrhea need no care a) eye pain or head pain or nausea and vomiting topic atropine b) rhinorrhea is very severe atropin IM 2 mg
Emergency Department Management • - Laboratory test: RBC AChE • Disposition and Follow up - Vapor agent: miosis and/or mild rhinorrhea do not need to admit - All other patients: hospitalized and observed closely - Delay effect: - skin exposure: 18 hours - inhalation: 12 hours ( bronchitis, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, respiratory failure
Emergency Department Management • - Follow up • - severe exposure: CNS sequelae • Report
