Timing of tracheal intubation impact on the therapeutic effect of acute severe organophosphate poisoning patients

Abstract

Objective To evaluate timing of tracheal intubation impact on the therapeutic effect of acute severe organophosphate poisoning( ASOPP) patients. Methods Retrospectively analyze 82 ASOPP patients with respiratory failure ( RF). The patients were divided into timely tracheal intubation group(n = 42) and delay tracheal intubation group (n =40) ,and compare the therapeutic effect of these two groups. Results Compared with timely tracheal intubation patients and delay tracheal intubation patients,total time of mechanical ventilation,hospital day decreased significantly (P 0.05). Conclusion It was exact that the therapeutic effect of timely tracheal intubation on rescuing the ASOPP patients, and the best time to tracheal intubation was in RF early period.
