The Potential Therapeutic Role of Hydroxyethyl Starch and Hydrocortisone in Acute Aluminum Phosphide Poisoning
RandomizedParallel-groupDouble-blindTreatment
Summary
Aluminum phosphide (ALP) is a widely used fumigant due to its efficiency as pesticides. It is available as tablets of Celphos, Alphos or Quickphos which are known as rice tablets. Each tablet weights 3 grams and contains 56% ALP and 44% of aluminum carbonate and paraffin. The incidence of ALP poisoning increased steadily specially in developing countries . ALP poisoning is considered to be one of the major causes of suicidal poisoning owing to its wide accessibility and low cost. However, accidental poisoning may occur during occupational exposure
