Book excerpt: The specific purpose of this document is to improve medical management and mental health care of people with pesticide poisoning in health care facilities at different levels. More particularly, to describe best practices in the clinical management of acute intoxication with pesticides, accidental and intentional, for different levels of staff in the health care system, i.e. primary health care, district hospitals, and specialized units. Since in many countries pesticides are used in a large proportion of deliberate self-harm, the appropriate management of pesticide intoxication can considerably reduce the number of deaths and improve the recovery in cases of non-fatal intoxication.

Book Synopsis MANAGEMENT OF ORGANOPHOSPHORUS PESTICIDE POISONING: COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS by : Kirti S Pawar
Download or read book MANAGEMENT OF ORGANOPHOSPHORUS PESTICIDE POISONING: COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS written by Kirti S Pawar and published by Notion Press. This book was released on 2021-09-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although managing mild organophosphorus poisoning could be quite simple, management of moderate to severe organophosphorus poisoning requires skill and extensive knowledge of this emergency. This book is a comprehensive guide to manage organophosphorus poisoning cases, covering everything from the identification of poison to the treatment. We have endeavored to cover every aspect of diagnosis and treatment, including common names of organophosphorus, carbamates, pyrethroids, and organo-chloro poisons, the types of presentation in organophosphorus poisoning, interpretation of cholinesterase level reports, prevention of intermediate syndrome/reintubation, decisions regarding doses of atropine and pralidoxime (2PAM) and other treatment options in organophosphorus poisoning, how to overcome difficulties in weaning from ventilator, delayed complications and their prevention, differences in treatment of organophosphorus poisoning and carbamates/ pyrethroids/organo-chloro poisons and many more frequently asked questions. This book provides detailed evidence-based answers to 64 questions related to organophosphorus poisoning and would prove invaluable to medical students for conceptual understanding of this topic and to clinicians for the effective management of patients with organophosphorus poisoning.

Book Synopsis Recognition and Management of Pesticide Poisonings by : U. S. Environmental Agency
Download or read book Recognition and Management of Pesticide Poisonings written by U. S. Environmental Agency and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-08 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide healthcare professionals with current consensus recommendations for treating patients with pesticide-related illnesses or injuries. The Office of Pesticide Programs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has sponsored the series since 1973. The 5th edition of this manual was published in 1999; since then, much has changed with regard to the pesticide products on the market. Most indoor uses of organophosphates have been eliminated, and a combination of EPA risk mitigation actions has limited their use on food crops. Pyrethroids have largely replaced organophosphates for residential pest control. While this conversion is beneficial in that the risk to human health is lower with this relatively less acutely toxic class of pesticide, it introduces a new set of health issues for consideration. Many new pesticide products have been registered and are not necessarily widely known among health professionals. This 6th edition includes a chapter that explores potential association between low-level exposure to pesticides over time and chronic diseases. There is general agreement that prevention of pesticide poisoning remains a much surer path to safety and health than reliance on treatment. In addition to the inherent toxicity of pesticides, none of the medical procedures or drugs used in treating poisonings is risk free. In fact, many antidotes are toxic in their own right, and such apparently simple procedures as gastric intubation involve substantial risk. The clinician must weigh the hazards of various courses of action (including no treatment at all) against the risks of various interventions, such as gastric emptying, catharsis, administration of intravenous fluids or administration of an antidote, if available. Clinical management decisions have to be made promptly and, as often as not, on the basis of limited scientific and medical information. The complex circumstances of human poisonings rarely allow for precise comparisons of alternative management strategies. Therefore, it is important for the reader to keep in mind that the treatment recommendations in this book do not guarantee successful outcomes. They are merely consensus judgments of the best available clinical management options. Clinical toxicology is a dynamic field of medicine; new treatment methods are developed regularly, and the effectiveness of old as well as new modalities is subject to constant critical review.

Book Synopsis World Report on Child Injury Prevention by : M. M. Peden
Download or read book World Report on Child Injury Prevention written by M. M. Peden and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2008 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Child injuries are largely absent from child survival initiatives presently on the global agenda. Through this report, the World Health Organization, the United Nations Children's Fund and many partners have set out to elevate child injury to a priority for the global public health and development communities. It should be seen as a complement to the UN Secretary-General's study on violence against children released in late 2006 (that report addressed violence-related or intentional injuries). Both reports suggest that child injury and violence prevention programs need to be integrated into child survival and other broad strategies focused on improving the lives of children. Evidence demonstrates the dramatic successes in child injury prevention in countries which have made a concerted effort. These results make a case for increasing investments in human resources and institutional capacities. Implementing proven interventions could save more than a thousand children's lives a day.--p. vii.
