    Correct management of organophosphate poisoning in patients treated in emergency services
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017) Valdivieso Aquije, Judith Jacquelin; Obregon Zorrilla, Yolanda Noemi; Gómez Gonzales, Walter Edgar
    Objective: To determine the correct management of acute poisoning in patients attended in emergency services. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted to synthesize the results from multiple primary studies, which are an essential part of evidence-based nursing, identifying relevant studies to answer specific clinical practice questions. Results: The review covered 10 scientific articles on the correct management of organophosphate poisoning in patients attending emergency services. Of the studies reviewed, 30% (3) were from India, 20% (2) from England, 20% from Ecuador, and 10% each from Brazil, Uruguay, and Spain. The articles came from databases Medline, Lilacs, and Cochrane Plus. Conclusions: The reviewed articles show that atropine is the antidote treatment, whereas the use of oximes for acute poisoning is not optimal, as they are not universal for all agents. There is a need for clinical trials not only with oximes but also with other antidotes, such as hydrolases, pyridostigmine carbamate, glutamate antagonists, and adenosine receptor agonists (clonidine).
