Assessing The Role Of Intravenous Lipid Emulsion As A Life Saving Therapy In Pesticides Toxicity
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Intravenous lipid emulsion is an established, effective treatment for local anesthetic systemic toxicity. It is also efficacious in animal models of severe cardiotoxicity caused by a number of other medications. Recent case reports of successful resuscitation suggest the efficacy of lipid emulsion infusion for treating non-local anesthetic overdoses across a wide spectrum of drugs. The present study will focus on the potential role of intravenous lipid emulsion as an adjuvant therapy in pesticides toxicity.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: control group will receive the traditional supportive treatment according to (PCC-ASUH) protocol |
Drug: Atropine
a drug used as an antidote for some types of pesticides
Drug: Toxogonin
a drug used as an antidote for some types of pesticides
Drug: Sodium Bicarbonate Powder and ondansetron
standard of care for treatment of aluminuim phosphide is provided for patients poisoned with aluminuim phosphide
|
Active Comparator: case group will receive the traditional supportive treatment plus administration of ILE (20%) 1.5 ml/kg as a bolus over 2-3 minutes. Followed immediately by an infusion of 20 % lipid emulsion at a rate of 0.25 mL/kg/min. After 3 minutes of this infusion rate, response to the bolus and initial infusion should be assessed. If there has been a significant response, the infusion rate can be adjusted to 0.025 mL/kg/min with monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and other available hemodynamic parameters during the infusion with a maximum dose of 10 mL/kg |
Drug: Lipid Emulsion, Intravenous
Lipid emulsion is a mixture of soybean oil, egg phospholipids, glycerine, and is available in 10%, 20%, and 30% strengths. It has been used for decades as parenteral nutrition and for caloric supplementation and essential fatty acid deficiency. It has also been used as a carrier for lipid soluble medications

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- mortality rate reduction [1 year]
the primary end point is to lower the mortality rate for patients poisoned with pesticides
- organ damage reduction [1 year]
another primary end point is to reduce organ damage and injury for survivors
