Our aim in this retrospective study was to determine the factors affecting poor prognosis and mortality of organophosphate (OP) poisoning by reviewing patient data. We also reviewed present knowledge make conclusions on certain longstanding debates light literature.In descriptive study, patients who were admitted hospitalized emergency department (ED) or intensive care unit (ICU) a university hospital with diagnosis OP between December 2010 2015 evaluated. All data obtained from electronic...

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy lipid emulsion as antidotal therapy in severe calcium channel blocker (CCB) and β-blocker (BB) intoxications.This is a retrospective which we have summarized data patients who were admitted university-based emergency department period 3 years given intravenous (ILE) manage cardiogenic shock due CCB BB overdose.We identified 15 received ILE for toxicity. Hospitalization durations variated between 33 days (mean 7.46 ± 7.41 days). Drug...

Objective: We aimed to present inferior vena cava (IVC) diameter as a guiding method for detection of relationship between IVC measured noninvasively with the help ultrasonography (USG) and central venous pressure (CVP) evaluation patient's intravascular volume status.Methods: Patients over age 18, whom catheter was inserted their subclavian vein or internal jugular were included in our study. measurements recorded millimeters following measurement by same clinician USG both at...

Objective: This study aims to compare the efficacy of propofol and midazolam in terms adverse effect potentials determine appropriate strategy for pediatric procedural sedation. Methods: A total 200 patients (aged < 14 years) undergoing diagnostic procedures were recruited this nonrandomized prospective controlled cohort study. The assigned 2 treatment arms: either (Group 1: IV bolus dose mg/kg during a 2-minute period, maintenance 100 mcg/kg/min) or 2: 0.15 period 3 minutes) achieve...

In this study, the analgesic effects of dexketoprofen trometamol and meperidine hydrochloride were compared in patients diagnosed with renal colic. This study was a prospective, randomized, double-blind study. Fifty-two patients, between ages 18 70 years who colic, enrolled after obtaining ethics committee approval. Before drug injection, placed closed envelopes, randomly given single dose intravenous infusion for 20 minutes. Severity pain symptoms evaluated numerical rating scale colic...

Commonly used agents of drug poisoning among patients who come to the emergency services are tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). These drugs may cause defect in cardiac conduction due slowdown depolarization and expansions QT interval. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) less expansion period lower cardio toxic side effects. The aim this study was investigate QTc intervals prognosis service TCA SSRI group antidepressant poisoning. In a 96 patients, 75 whom were diagnosed be...

Ecbalium elaterium, known as the wild or squirting cucumber, is a hairy perennial herbaceous vine of Cucurbitaceae family, endemic to Mediterranean region. All parts plant are toxic, particularly gherkin-like fruits. It frequently used in treatment sinusitis by nasal aspiration some Mediterranean. The studies regarding argue that it has an anti-inflammatory characteristic. Two cases uvular oedema have been ascribed undiluted use this substance. Since they can threaten life, similar arising...

Little is known about snakebites during pregnancy and only a few cases have been reported in the literature. The fact that venomous result high fetal wastage may cause maternal mortality makes this an important, albeit, uncommonly encountered entity emergency medicine. In paper, we report on successful treatment of three snakebite pregnancy.

Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication causes cardiovascular problems as a result of diffuse tissue hypoxia. Cardiac biochemical markers and electrocardiographic changes have been reported in CO intoxications. Human fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP) has recently used reliable marker identifying early cardiac damage. In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate the advantages use H-FABP, evaluating findings myocardial ischemia patients with our region. Methods: Twenty four...

Scorpions are nocturnal arthropods that inject their venom through the victims' skin by stingers. By envenomation, clinical manifestations in a wide spectrum may occur, including pain at one side and death because of severe cardiopulmonary or neurological abnormalities. Sometimes victim cannot describe insect does not remember even being stung after event. We present two cases scorpion envenomation with different rare situations short review literature.

Nearly everyone is at risk of acute and chronic toxic exposure to hazardous substances in the ambient environment. Morbidity mortality following an overdose are reduced by intensive appropriate supportive therapy. A well-trained medical team required for administration clinical care, which includes enough equipment monitoring patient's status. In this paper we present a student who, after attending dentist faculty, ingested 100 grams pure inorganic mercury order commit suicide was treated...

Organophosphate (OP) compounds are extremely toxic chemicals that may be absorbed via skin, conjunctiva, gastrointestinal and respiratory systems. Treatment of OP poisoning is a critical aggressive process which includes decontamination, antidote administration (atropin oximes), mechanical ventilation support extracorporeal elimination procedures if needed. Here we present young female patient who was unintentionally poisoned by an (trichlorfon) after using it to moisture her skin. The...

Experience with overdosage and toxicity the alphaadrenoreceptor antagonists remains very limited in literature. In this paper, second case literature doxazosin is reported. Supportive treatment was given to patient discharged 48 hours after admission emergency department.

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether thyroid hormone levels have any predictive value for mortality in patients presenting the emergency department with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Three groups admitted within 11-month period were considered eligible: 95 chest pain and proven AMI, 26 no 114 who served as controls evidence major disease. Cardiac enzymes following hormones analyzed compared between groups, regarding effects historical demographic factors: thyrotrophin,...
