Organophos insecticide poisoning

Organophosphorus insecticide poisoning is an acute, life-threatening toxic state resulting from cutaneous absorption, inhalation, or ingestion of organophosphate-based agricultural and domestic pesticides Pathophysiologically, these compounds bind to and inhibit the acetylcholinesterase enzyme at neural synapses and neuromuscular junctions, leading to a profound accumulation of acetylcholine In severe cases, respiratory depression and flaccid muscle weakness develop, frequently precipitating fat...

Organophosphorus insecticide poisoning is an acute, life-threatening toxic state resulting from cutaneous absorption, inhalation, or ingestion of organophosphate-based agricultural and domestic pesticides This overstimulation disrupts the central, peripheral, and autonomic nervous systems, typically manifesting as an acute cholinergic toxidrome characterized by excess secretions, miosis, bronchorrhea, bronchospasm, vomiting, diarrhea, diaphoresis, and muscle fasciculations
