Role of Repetitive Nerve Stimulation, Serum Creatine Phosphokinase and Lactate Dehydrogenase in Early Prediction of Respiratory Failure in Acute Organophosphorus Poisoning
Abstract:The most serious complication associated with acute organophosphorus (OP) poisoning is intermediate syndrome (IMS) due to the possibility of developing respiratory failure. Abnormalities observed in repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) may help to assess severity of IMS and eventually help to predict the cases which are more liable to develop respiratory failure. Also, some researchers suggested that IMS is associated with rhabdomyolysis which is followed by a rise in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) and lactate deh… Show more
