其次:肾、 肺、脾等 浓度最高 • Routes of entry: • Skin • Resp. tract • GI. tract Enterohepatic circulation
Pathogenesy • The primary mechanism of action of OP is inhibition of acetylcholinesterase(AChE): Phosphate+AChE →Phospharylated AChE→ The Acetylcholine(ACh) ↑↑
Pathogenesy • The Ach accumulates throughout the nervous system, resulting in overstimulation of muscarinic and nicotinic recepters which can be found in the nervous system and neuromuscular junction.

CNS effects Nicotinic effects • Muscarinic effects
Manifestations • 1.Cholinergic crisis • Muscarinic effects • Nicotinic effects • CNS effects • 2.Intermediate syndrome(IMS) • 3.Organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP) Signs and symptoms of OPs poisoning can be divided into 3 broad categories.
Muscarinic effects is duo to excessive parasympathetic activation. • Smooth muscle spasm • GI: nausea, vomite, abdominal pain, increased peristaltic sounds. • Urinary tract: frequency of urination, urinary incontinence. • Bronchus: tachypnea, dyspnea. • Ocular: pinpoint pupil(miosis), blurred vision. • Sphincter relaxation • Incontinence of urine and feces • Cardiovascular symptoms • Bradycardia, hypotension • Over active Glands(sympathetic cholinergic nervous ) • Increased lacrimation, diaphoresis • Sputum and moist rale, diarrhea
Nicotinic effects • Stimulation of muscle motor end-plate • Fasciculation → Weakness →Paralysis • Respiratory muscle paralysis →peripheral respiratory failure • Stimulation of sympathetic nervous system • Tachycardia • Hypertension • Arrhythmia
CNS symptom • Serious effects • Coma • Respiratory centre depression(Central RF) • Seizures • Other effects • Confusion • Memory loss • Disorientation • Delirium
Intermediate syndrome(IMS) • Typically 1-3 days after cholinergic crisis has resolved, and before delayed polyneuropathy. • Proximal muscle weakness and cranial nerve lesions. • Delayed Respiratory Failure.
Mechanism of IMS • Prolonged Effects on Nicotinic receptors because of the accumulation of Ach in the neuromuscular junction → Motor end-plate degeneration → Neuromuscular block →Peripheral respiratory failure
Clinical importance of IMS • Delayed respiratory failure leads to death if not aware of it or prepared for it. • Mechanical ventilation may be the only effective emergency measures.
Organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP) • Occurs 1-5 weeks after exposure to large doses of certain OPs. • Begin with shooting pains in both legs, then upper extremities. • Quadriplegia. • Standard treatments are ineffective.
Complications • 1.Respiratory failure • 2.Shock • myocardial injury, cardiac contractility reduced, cardiac arrhythmia. • Peripheral circulatory failure, angiectasis. • Inhibition of the cardiovascular central. • Hypovolemic shock due to dehydration. • 3.Malignant arrhythmia. • 4.Brain edema.
Laboratory Studies • Measurement of acetylcholinesterase (AChE)activity. • Most widely used for a diagnosis of OP, for judgement of severity andeffect of treatment. • It is an objective indicator which can be a guidance for the dosage of antidote.
Management The priority in management is : • Resuscitation!
Resuscitation • Recognition of life threatening events when you work in ED. • The ABCDE approach is the prior task we have to do in early treatment of critical illness.
The ABCDE approach A E B Airway & assessment Exposure & examination D C Breathing , ventilation & oxygenation Disability due to neurological deterioration Circulation & shock management
Gastrointestinal Decontamination • 1. Gastric lavage:Usualy use warm water. Every time 300-500ml,10,000-30,000ml in total,until the liquid washing out is clear and without the smell of OPs.Feed Activated Charcoal via nasal-gastric tubeafter gastric lavage. 2%sodium bicarbonate(dipterex) 1:5000potassium permanganate(parathion, malathion) • 2. Catharsis: 20%Mannitol Na2SO4 The effect maybe not obvious because of a high dose of atropine.
Gastrointestinal Decontamination • GI Decontamination is NOT a life saving procedure! • Should not be performed before resuscitation
Benefits Gastrointestinal Decontamination Risks • Aspiration • Trauma • Electrolyte Imbalances • Cardiac Arrest • Removal of poison load • Prevention of ongoing poison absorption
Medication • Cholinesterase reactivator — Pralidoxime • Anticholinergic drugs — Atropine,Scopolamine
1、Cholinesterase reactivator • Pralidoxime——release nicotinic effect. • Giving the pralidoxime sufficiently and in time can improve the prognosis. • Pralidoxime –chloride(PAM-Cl)
Characteristic of PAM-CL • The effect of pralidoxime depends on the first time of administration and the dose. The sooner the better.
Characteristic of PAM-CL • It is not effective once the OP compound has bound AChE irreversibly (agedphosphorylated AChE). • For the “aging” time is about 24~36h after poisoning,the pralidoxime should be used within 48h, preferably within 30 minutes.
Characteristic of PAM-CL • T1/2 =1-1.5h • Usage: iv. or im. iv gtt.
2、Anticholinergic drugs—Atropine • Competitively inhibit ACh receptors including receptors found in GI and pulmonary smooth muscle, exocrine glands, heart, and eyes. • In order to relieve the muscarinic symptoms and anti respiratory inhibition.
Atropine • Is a muscarinic antagonist, and thus blocks the action of acetylcholine peripherally • Competitive inhibitor at ACh receptors • No obvious effect on central nicotinic receptors——The effect on convulsion,and respiratory centre depression is poor.
Dosage of anticholinergic drugs • Mild (mg) Moderate(mg) Severe(mg) • Atropine2~4 4~10 10~20 • Administer repeatedly until atropinisation.
Atropinisation • Atropinisationendpoint • Dry axillae; • HR 90-100bpm; • Slight fever,T37.3-37.5℃; • Slight dysphoria; • Pupils no longer pinpoint, facial flushing and chest clear with no rale are reference indexes. • What if you give too much Atropine ? • Anticholinergic Syndrome : • Delirium,restless,hallucination,convulsion,highfever, Facial flushing,tachycardia,urinary retention. • Sedativesmay help to relieve it.
Proper usage of antidotes • Administer as soon as possible. • Use a combination of a variety of antidotes. • Use adequate dosage for the first time. • Repeated administration according to the patient’s condition.
Comprehensive supportive therapy • 1.Eliminate the source of poisons. • 2.Eliminate the poisons which have been absorbed. • Hemoperfusion • Should be carried out within 24h,and repeated for 1-2 times. • Indication: • Severe poisoning; • Patient’s condition deteriorate with routing therapy; • Liver dysfunction. Charcoal filter
Comprehensive supportive therapy • 3.Keep a patent airway; Inhale O2; Provide adequate oxygenation and ventilation; And administer mechanical ventilation if it is necessary. • 4. Prevent cerebral edema, and use naloxone to ease disturbance ofconsciousness. • 5.Monitor vital sign; Monitor fluid input and output; Treat metabolic disturbances such as electrolyte abnormalities.
