Aluminum phosphide or rice tablet is one of the most common pesticides and insecticides used in agriculture to protect crops, cereals, and rice. Recently, this substance has been increasingly used as a method for committing suicide among people in society. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical symptoms and para-clinical findings of deceased patients due to Aluminum phosphide poisoning in Ardabil province, Iran.
Materials and Methods:
This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 97 hospitalized patients who died due to Aluminum phosphide poisoning in Ardabil province, Iran, from 2009 to 2017. The data were collected using a checklist and then analyzed in SPSS software (version 19) through descriptive and analytical statistics

The mean age of all patients was 34.3±15.8 years, and the majority of the cases (77.3%) were female. The most important symptoms were nausea and vomiting in males (92%) and females (100%). Moreover, the patients had a mean recovery time of 5.89 h. Of all the deceased patients, 22 and 75 cases took two and one tablets, respectively. Furthermore, 92.7% of the patients had taken the rice tablets orally. The amount of Glasgow Coma Scale (P=0.001), systolic blood pressure (P=0.001), PH (P=0.001), heart rate (P=0.001), respiratory rate (P=0.001), bicarbonate (P=0.001) and white blood cell (P=0.009) in died patients in more than 24 hour significantly difference with died patients in less than 24 hour. The females obtained a significantly lower systolic blood pressure (P=0.01) and lower pH (p=0.045), but the higher partial pressure of oxygen (P=0.01), compared to males.

- چکیده انگلیسی: Background:Every day, people with addiction cause heavy economic and cultural damage to society. In some circumstances, opioids are used as a tool for suicide, which is often seen in youth. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical signs of toxicity associated with opium in patients referred to Ardabil city hospital.
Methods:This is a cross-sectional study that has been done on opium toxicity patients referred to Ardabil Sabalan hospital from 2014-15. Patients’ information such as individual characteristics (age, gender, living location, job and marital status), drug type, poisoning cause, poisoning season, history of physical and mental illness, and clinical symptoms were obtained from patients and then analyzed using statistical methods in SPSS.16 software.
Results: 180 hospitalized patients were entered in the study. 75 persons (42%) used Tramadol, the most commonly used drug in opium intoxication. Most patients (80.6%) were male and in the age group 20-30 years (37.8%). 155 patients (86.1%) lived in this city, and the most patients (55 cases, 35.5%) had a primary education level. 39% of cases were seen in spring, the most common season for referring intoxications. Of all patients, 160 (88.9%) consciously took the drug (by choice).
Conclusion:Results showed that poisoning by Tramadol was the most common form of opium intoxication in patients. Opium intoxication can be prevented by decreasing the arbitrary use of drugs and also increasing the awareness level of personnel about care of these patients, and raising awareness to all people in society about opium and drug toxicity.- انتشار مقاله: 03-07-1395
