Abstract/OtherAbstract:
168 cases of organophosphate poisonings are reviewed with special respect to frequent arrhythmias. In 134 cases toxic repolarisation with QT prolongation, ST- and T- anomalies were present. 56 patients had arrhythmias and the prevalence of ventricular arrhythmias was impressive. In five patients a transient picture of myocardial infarction was seen. The great incidence of ECG alterations and arrhythmias necessitate the permanent monitoring of patients with organophosphate poisoning in an intensive care unit.
