- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Iron is an important element for normal cell metabolism, but in excess amounts is quite cytotoxic, and even deadly. Iron poisoning is a calamity repeated many times in the world. The clinical signs of the patients include gastrointestinal symptoms, a short period of relative stability, Cardiogenic shock, liver failure, and scarring of the gastrointestinal tract. Iron tablets are specifically tempting to children because they are similar to candy. Iron overdose in adults is usually to attempt suicide.
Methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytic study based on hospital information, that was conducted among the patients affected with iron poisoning admitted to Razi hospital (a referral medical setting for poisoning treatment in southwest Iran) during 2014-2017. Patient information has been extracted and inserted in the inquiry form and data were analyzed by SPSS software.
Results: In this study, 52 patients (94.2% female) were studied. 5 (9.6%) of women were pregnant. The majority of them (69.2%) were between 15-25 years of age. Nausea and vomiting (50%) are two of the most common side effects. 5 patients (9.6%) received deferoxamine. All Patients who received deferoxamine, symptoms had less than 6 hours of onset. Most patients were hospitalized between 6-24 hours. 25% of patients took vitamins simultaneously with iron. The Serum level of iron in 3 patients (5.8%) was above 300 µg/dL. Based on this research, mortality was reported in one patient.
Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of iron poisoning was examined based on demographic and clinical characteristics. Considering the most prevalent iron poisoning in the young age group (96.2% suicides), more research in the psychological and social problems is critical for preventative behaviors.- انتشار مقاله: 14-04-1399

- چکیده:
- چکیده انگلیسی: Background: Organophosphates are pesticides that are used widely in agriculture and industry. Because of the ease of access and abundant use of these pesticides, many cases of intentional and accidental poisoning of these compounds are reported. The aim of this comprehensive study was to evaluate the symptoms and treatment of patients referred to Razi hospital as the main center for poisoning in the South west of Iran.
Methods: In this study, patients with Organophosphate poisoning referred to Razi hospital during the years 2006 to 2012 was included. The information collected from their records includes reference data, demographic data, clinical manifestations and treatment options.
Results: Of all 173 cases, 46.2% were male. The average age of cases was 24.31 years and most of them were from rural areas. 86% of patients had deliberately consumed a toxic substance. The first clinical symptoms of more than half of the patients were nausea and vomiting. 72.8% of patients needed antidote; a combination of atropine and pralidoxim was administered in 70% of cases. 16.2% required intubation and 80% admitted to ICU. In 52% of cases a specified pesticide was found and 4% of the cases deceased.
Conclusion: Organophosphate poisoning in most cases occurred deliberately as a suicidal attempt. It was more common in rural areas. Need for admission to intensive care unit was more common in cases under the age of twenty. Treatment of patients with both antidote atropine and pralidoxime was a very suitable therapeutic model.- انتشار مقاله: 14-07-1395
