Study of effect of serum potassium levels On patients with organophosphate poisoning Presenting to kles dr. Prabhakar kore Hospital & mrc, belagavi-a 1 year Observational study

Abstract

Background: Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is a critical issue, especially in regions with extensive agricultural activities. These toxic compounds, widely used as pesticides, lead to severe neurotoxicity and substantial health risks. Understanding the biochemical profile (specially serum potassium levels) is essential for better management. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of serum potassium levels on mortality in organophosphate poisoning cases, providing comprehensive insights on better management.
