Comparison of the prognosis of the new and old therapeutic protocols in poisoning by phosphide compounds

Abstract

Introduction: Rice tablets (aluminum phosphide) are used to fight insects and pests in the grain storage spaces. This tablet produces phosphine gas which is a toxic substance for mitochondria. New measures have merely been recommended to save the lives of poisoned patients at referral clinical toxicology centers. The purpose of this study is to compare the prognosis of the new and old protocols in rice tablet poisoning.
