Abstract

Organophosphorus compounds are very commonly available substance especially in agriculture based countries. Its use as a suicidal agent is rampant. Early management of the patient is critical in the final outcome. Use of atropine forms the mainstay of management after early decontamination. The role of oximes has been a matter of controversy. Use of Fresh Frozen Plasma and monitoring the patient using cholinesterase levels is amongst one of the developments in the management of the patient.
