Effect of alternate gastric perfusion and catharsis in the treatment of patients with organophosphorus poisoning

Abstract

Objective To study the effect of alternate gastric perfusion and catharsis, and corresponding nursing in the treatment of patients with organophosphorus poisoning. Methods 60 cases of organophosphorus poisoning treated in our hospital from June 2013 to June 2015 were randomly divided into study group and control group with 30 cases in each group. The patients in control group were given routine nursing care, while the patients in study group were given alternate gastric perfusion and catharsis, and corresponding nursing. The intestinal cleaning time, CHE recovery time, atropine time, first defecation time, length of hospital stay, and the cases of intermediate syndrome were compared between two groups. Results In study group, the intestinal cleaning time was (11.7±3.2)h, CHE recovery time was (4.1±1.5)d, atropine time was (48.7±12.7)min, first defecation time was (17.4±3.5)h, hospitalization time was (6.3±3.2)d, which were all significantly less than (16.8±4.1)h, (5.3±2.4)d, (65.6±14.5)min, (39.9±5.7)h, (9.5±4.4)d in control group (P<0.05). The rate of intermediate syndrome in study group was significantly less than that in control group (χ2=4.043, P<0.05). Conclusion Alternate gastric perfusion and catharsis, and corresponding nursing has remarkable clinical effect in the treatment of patients with organophosphorus poisoning, which is a kind of safe and effective rescue measure, worthy of popularization and application.
